Strike to halt all passport services at airports, border crossings tomorrow

The Population and Immigration Authority announces a general strike for tomorrow and will include the suspension of passport services at all Israeli airports and border crossings.

The State Employees Union warns of massive delays for travelers scheduled to leave Ben Gurion International Airport tomorrow.

The union in a statement calls on Authority officials to return to the negotiating table. Employees launched the job action earlier this month after management decided to transfer workers from various offices to the one in Bnei Brak to service the large number of asylum seekers.

Workers are seeking a collective wage agreement from the Population and Immigration Authority management.
