Israeli High School Teachers Go On Strike For Pay Rise
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) The Israeli Secondary School Teachers' Association on Sunday
staged a one-day strike in high schools in the country for a pay
increase, trend reports citing xinhua .
Some middle school teachers who are members of the association
also took part in the strike, which aimed to pressure the Finance
Ministry into reaching a new collective agreement with teachers in
time, as the previous one had expired more than a year ago.
The association said in a statement that the ministry had yet to
negotiate such an agreement, leaving the teachers with 'no one to
talk to.'
The organization demands, among other things, that the minimum
salary of a secondary education teacher be raised to 12,000 new
shekels (3,511 U.S. dollars).
Responding in a statement, the ministry claimed that it was not
avoiding the talks and called on the teacher's association to get
back to the negotiations.
