The State Prosecutor petitions the Labor Court to rule against the strike declared by Histadrut Labor Federation chairman Arnon Bar-David, who aims to pressure the government into accepting a hostage deal.
The petition requests the court decide that the “strike announced by the Histadrut chairman, regarding all employees of the state, is not a strike for a collective labor dispute, and is, therefore, a political strike.”
