The National Labor Court ordered luggage handlers and maintenance workers at Ben Gurion International Airport to stop their slowdown Monday morning by 11:00 a.m.
The judge also ordered the Israel Airports Authority and the workers' union to resume negotiations, which will be monitored by the court.
At least 20 flights had been delayed by the time the order was issued at around 9:30 a.m.
The wildcat strikes began late Sunday night when management threatened in frustration during talks with the union to petition the Labor Court for an injunction to prevent work slowdowns or, if necessary, to force the workers to stay on the job.
Repeated employee-management discussions broke up without agreement before dawn Monday.
Employees involved in cleaning and handling suitcases have complained that management has not lived up to an agreement for higher wages. They also have complained about the practice of hiring workers from temporary agencies, and have demanded that management bump some 200 part-time workers up into full-time employment.
According to Voice of Israel government radio, at least 16 flights were delayed by Monday morning, with many incoming passengers forced to leave the terminal without their luggage.
