Rami Levy Retail Chain Faces Major Lawsuit Over Employee Deductions

Rami Levy Retail Chain Faces Major Lawsuit Over Employee Deductions

A class-action lawsuit has been approved against the Rami Levy supermarket chain in Israel, representing thousands of cashiers over the past seven years. The suit alleges illegal deductions from employee wages for cash register shortages. The Regional Labor Court ruled that random shortages are not a "fixed debt" and cannot be automatically deducted, especially for minimum wage workers, unless negligence is proven. The chain denies the claims, stating deductions were consensual and procedural, but the court found the practice to be systematic.

El Al Cancels Dubai Evacuation Flights Due to UAE Decision

El Al Cancels Dubai Evacuation Flights Due to UAE Decision

El Al has canceled an upcoming evacuation flight for Israelis from Dubai to Tel Aviv, citing a unilateral decision by UAE authorities. The airline had planned to resume regular direct flights between Israel and Dubai in November after an eight-month break, pending government approvals. This follows earlier cancellations of return flights from Dubai, which frustrated passengers who had quickly purchased tickets. The airline also recently experienced a flight diversion to Miami due to a technical issue.
