      Dozens Protest Back-to-Work Orders for Teachers


      Dozens of protestors, most of them teachers and students, demonstrated near the entrance to the Finance Ministry in Jerusalem on Sunday morning.  The group was protesting the government’s decision to force striking Secondary School Teachers Association teachers to return to work using a court order from the National Labor Court.

      Several protestors physically blocked the road leading to the building’s entrance.  Some wore signs saying, “The Finance Ministry is Trampling the Teachers.”
