Officials will meet on Sunday evening in an attempt to prevent a public sector strike later in the week. The Chairman of the Histadrut Labor Federation, Ofer Eini, will meet with Finance Minister Avraham Hirschson and Minister of Internal Affairs Ronnie Bar-On in a final effort to prevent the strike.
The Histadrut is planning the strike on behalf of approximately 5,500 government workers, in both local authorities and religious councils, who did not receive a salary in February. Histadrut officials said Sunday that if the government does not pay the salaries by Wednesday, the strike will begin.
