Finance Ministry wage boss Eli Cohen has agreed to a suggestion of Education Minister Yuli Tamir (Labor) to appoint a mediator to bridge gaps between the government and lecturers in the strike of universities. Lecturers want a change in the salary structure and have shut down classes, which had been scheduled to begin on Sunday.
However, union representatives said they have heard nothing about a mediator and that "the egg has been hatched before it was born."
