Threatened Strike as Public Schools Preparing to Open New School Year

The annual strike threat came later than usual, but it came. Ministry of Education employees are threatening to strike the Monday, 9 Elul 5772 opening of the state’s public schools for the new school year. They explain the conditions of their employment have deteriorated to the point a strike may be warranted.

Rarely if ever does the summer pass without a threatened strike that jeopardizes the opening of public school system.
