The strike will include;

· All government offices

· Transportation service in Tel Aviv and Haifa

· Teachers unions

· Knesset employees

· Civil Service employees

· Civilians employed in the IDF

· Israel Broadcasting Authority

· National Road Safety Authority

· Council of Higher Education

· University employees

· Taf Teken – Israel’s Standards Institute

· Airport employees (including takeoffs, landings and domestic flights)

Essential service agencies participating in the strike will operate on a limited Shabbos schedule.
