Shas MK Eli Yishai turned to Finance Minister Yair Lapid calling for arrangements for workers who were unable to get to work because of the storm. He feels these workers should be paid for days missed.

Yishai feels that officials mishandled the storm and as a result, many people who might have made it into work were unable to do so and now, they will be penalized by loss of income. Yishai feels the senior minister must announce that workers in the public and private sector must be paid for the snow days.
