News in Brief

Court says website must reinstate journalist who established workers union The Tel Aviv Labor Court ordered a Ynet journalist reinstat- ed yesterday, ruling that dismissing the reporter, Tani Gold- stein, would violate a worker’s right to organize. Goldstein, a veteran Ynet economic correspondent, was told he could not return after resigning on February 9. That day, three other Ynet employees were summoned to a pre-dismissal hear- ing; two had organized workers. The judge accepted Ynet’s claim that streamlining at the company was necessary, but said “economic considerations cannot explain how the names of four of the 10 members of the workers committee were brought up in connection with ending their employment, in the exact same week employees were organizing.” Ynet said the judges rejected the claim by the Histadrut labor fed- eration that Ynet was trying to hamper unionizing efforts. ‏(Emilie Grunzweig‏) Artist McAdam Freud and environmental group visit Israel and Jordan The British sculptor and medallic artist Jane McAdam Freud is in Israel for two days as part of a group represent- ing Friends of the Earth, whose members including Jews and Arabs from Britain.
