International Middle East Media Center: Palestinian teachers hold strike
Palestinian public school teachers on Monday held a one-day strike, warning that a further strike would follow in two weeks if the government failed to meet their demands.
The teachers are demanding that owed expenses be released, that salaries be matched with an increase in the cost of living in the Palestinian territories, and that the government explains why it revoked a previous decision by the unity government to grant teachers in the Jerusalem area a 1000 NIS per. month pay-rise, replacing it with a 500 NIS increase.
