In depth

Roni Grafunkel announced his resignation as chairman of the Bank Hapoalim workers' committee, after more than seven years in the post. According to Calcalist, the departure comes after more than a year of labor dispute with the bank's management over the efficiency plan.

According to Ynet, Grafunkel is vacating his post in part following internal confrontations within the committee. According to Ice, the resignation comes after an internal revolt by committee members against him.

In recent weeks, members of the workers' organization demanded a discussion convening to oust him, arguing that the struggle had not yielded significant achievements, according to Calcalist.
