Netanyahu gets it right. The State of Israel has no business pressuring or bribing Teva to keep workers the company cannot profitably employ. Rather, Israel must help the workers with severance pay, retraining programs, assistance in finding new employment, and assistance in moving if necessary. Israel’s highest priority must be on working with the discharged workers. Also important, but second in rank, is to do what can done reasonably to transfer ownership and control factories in Jerusalem and elsewhere from Teva to other companies that can profitably use those factories. Meetings between Teva and Israeli political figures to coordinate help to discharged workers and transfer of factories are very good. These meetings must not degenerate into finger-pointing, or any kind of threats or economic incentives to force Teva to employees it should no longer employ. Larry M. Goldstein
