High school teachers' strike 'suspended,' school in session tomorrow – union head

The high school teachers’ strike, which began a week ago on the first day of the new school year, will be “suspended” and class will be in session tomorrow morning, union head Ran Erez says.

Earlier today, reports emerged that a tentative compromise had been reached regarding the issue of individual contracts for teachers, one of the major sticking points in the negotiations.

The open-ended high school teachers’ strike began on September 1, the first day of the new school year, and entered its second week today. Since the strike began, each day union head Ran Erez sent a notification that the action would continue for another day.
