William Hill plc has been rocked by a mass walkout by nearly 200 staff at their support centre in Tel Aviv, Israel.
And the company’s chief marketing officer in Israel, Eyal Sanoff, has reportedly also quit his post, following the disruption, why he has left is still un-clear.
It is reported that William Hill executives flew out “to try and sort out the strike” over the weekend amid fears that Hill’s internet business would suffer.
William Hill’s Tel Aviv office handles almost all the marketing & customer support functions for the bookmakers’ online business.
Israeli staff members are saying that they believe William Hill is about to move the Israeli functions to the UK or Gibraltar and all will lose their jobs.
One staff member is quoted as saying “Everyone’s worried. The last two years have been really good. We all bought into the company’s thinking, but the situation has deteriorated & people are really worried about their jobs.
“All 180 staff walked out on Sunday, which is a working day in Israel, & only 20 came back monday.”
Jim Mullen, one of the Will Hill execs who flew in to address the crisis, allegedly offered staff members a month’s pay if they would break the unofficial strike & report for work.
William Hill’s online business is a major part of their business plans, & is estimated to generate profits of more than 100 million GBP for the company this year alone.
