Judge orders medical checks for striking rail drivers

A court orders medical checks for Jerusalem light rail drivers who called in sick en masse Tuesday in a wildcat labor strike that has stopped rail service in the capital.

Due an ongoing labor dispute, some one-third of the drivers notified the rail’s operator Citipass that they were sick Tuesday morning, the Ynet news site reports.

The Jerusalem Labor Court judge hearing the dispute instructs all employees who did not show up for work today to get checked by a doctor.
