Israel: Municipal employees strike update · Global Voices
Haitham Sabbah

“Last week's strike was over quickly after promises were made by the government offices, to transfer money to the municipalities who have not been paying their employees’ salaries for many months now due to their dire financial situation. Some municipalities indeed paid, but the majority never received money and 12.000 employees and 40.000 pensioners are still waiting… The strike may be renewed tomorrow,” Yudit said.
