THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS got NEWS GLASS & MIRROR Peres Wants To Release Government Workers Jerusalem (JTA) — Premier Shimon Peres said Tuesday that the government was determined to dismiss another three percent of the civil service workforce. This, he said, would be in addi- tion to the first round of dismis- sals, yet to be implemented, which constituted another three percent of the civil service work- force. The government wants to go ahead with the dismissals be- cause it claims that the Histad- rut has continued in its rejection of further cuts in wages. Peres said dring a visit to the de- velopment town of Shlomi in the Galilee that the government and Histadrut remained far apart on the issue. The Civil Service Union, meanwhile, stepped up its de- mands to introduce a five-day work week into the public sector as an alternative to mass dismis- sals. Deputy Secretary of the clerical Workers Union, Moshe Beit-Dagan, said a five-day work week could immediately save the government 10 percent in wages, as well as certain operating costs. The worker, for his part, would lose between five and seven percent of his net pay. In a related event, all public hospitals in Israel drastically re- duced medical services, last week by order of the Ministry of Health. Only emergency surgery will be performed from now on. Only patients requiring emergency treatment will be admitted. Out-patient clinics will be closed and all patients presently in hospital will be discharged ex- cept in cases where their health would be endangered. It is not clear- how hospitals operated by Kupat Cholim, the Histadrut sick fund, will be affected. Health Minister Mordechai Gur said the extreme measures are necessary because his minis- try has failed to persuade the Treasury to provide the funds necessary to continue normal `hospital service.
