The strike at Bromine Compounds and Dead Sea Works has been going on since February.

The Histadrut (General Federation of Labor in Israel) intends to tell the National Labor Court that the negotiations that have taken place in recent weeks between Israel Chemicals (TASE: ICL: NYSE: ICL) management and representatives of the workers and the Histadrut, have reached a deadlock.

Bromine Compounds workers committee chairman Avner Ben-Senior said, "We're going back to the Court, which sent us in mid-March to negotiate with Israel Chemicals management in an attempt to settle the ongoing crisis. ICL management is insisting on layoffs, and we're opposed to this entire proceeding."

According to Ben-Senior, "It's time to shake things up, and in the coming days, we'll renew our protests, in view of the layoffs plan led by management."

The strike at Israel Chemicals subsidiaries Bromine Compounds and Dead Sea Works has been going on since February.
