Jerusalem Post: Treasury lambasts teachers’ union
As the school strike ended its 32nd day Sunday, the Finance Ministry harshly criticized the Secondary School Teachers Organization and its head, Ran Erez.
“The SSTO’s decision to continue striking and push off the negotiating meeting set for this morning is a slap in the face and like spitting in the face of the National Labor Court,” the Finance Ministry said in a statement after a scheduled 10 a.m. meeting was pushed off until the afternoon. “The SSTO would have acted more properly if it had accepted the court’s suggestion and suspended the strike, which hurts students and teachers, for two weeks and negotiated seriously on the basis of the draft agreement the court proposed.”
