National Labor Court orders immediate end to strike
After a tense day of negotiations between the Histadrut and the Finance Ministry, the National Labor Court ordered the Histadrut early Thursday (30th November) to immediately end the general public sector strike it had begun the previous morning, and not to strike for the rest of the week.
Additionally, Judge Steve Adler ruled, the Finance Ministry must pay the local authorities' salaries by Thursday, except for those that were disputed, such as the religious councils, which would hold intensive discussions throughout the week to find a solution to the salary issue.
Workers were expected to return to their jobs starting at 7 a.m. Thursday morning.
