In meeting, Lapid asks Liberman to give a chance to talks with teachers union
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Yair Lapid meets Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman and reportedly asks him to give a chance to ongoing negotiations with the Israel Teachers Union rather than seeking an injunction forcing educators back to work as the school year begins later this week.
Liberman says he was “compelled” to request the injunction, after the Education Ministry “chose not to request one due to its own considerations.”
The Teachers Union is threatening a general strike, disrupting the start of the school year on September 1, demanding that salaries be raised significantly and that a seniority-based payment system not be replaced with a performance-oriented one.
