Kisch reviews fund transfers to teachers' union; Erez: It's harassment

Education Minister Yoav Kisch announced a review of fund transfers to the teachers' union, claiming that funds are being transferred for teachers who are not union members. Union chairman Ran Erez argues that this is harassment and an attempt to intimidate teachers, and that the review is linked to a campaign he launched against the minister.

Education Minister Yoav Kisch announced that the Ministry of Education is examining the transfer of funds to the teachers' union, following suspicions that funds are being transferred for teachers who are not union members. Kisch claims that the review is not related to the campaign by union chairman Ran Erez against him, and that he will not compromise on safeguarding public funds. Erez, on the other hand, argues that this is harassment and an attempt to intimidate teachers, and that the union has not received official notice of the review. He links the move to the campaign he launched against the minister, and warns that intimidating teachers will not help. The confrontation is conducted through letters to union members.
