Haaretz: University strike / Academic year fails to start after last-minute talks fall through
Representatives of the country’s senior faculty unions announced an open-ended strike for better pay yesterday, after Saturday night’s talks with government representatives failed to produce an agreement.
Education Minister Yuli Tamir expressed disappointment with the unions’ rejection of the government’s proposal, and yesterday, she suggested appointing a mediator for a predetermined time period. But the professors said they had not heard about her offer, which she made to the Finance Ministry’s wages director, Eli Cohen.
Since no date has been set for further negotiations, the strike is expected to continue tomorrow.
