Teacher-treasury wage talks still ‘far’ from a deal — reports
Despite optimism surrounding wage talks between the teachers’ union and Finance Ministry, reports indicate that “major gaps” remain between the sides, with less than 48 hours before schools are scheduled to open for the new academic year.
Marathon negotiations between the sides remain “good,” according to sources involved, but the possibility of a strike delaying the start of the school year is still on the table, the Ynet news site reports.
“We’re far from signing an agreement,” a source is quoted as saying by Channel 12 news.
Among the outstanding issues are when teachers will have off, and whether school administrators will have greater flexibility to fire teachers, the channel reports.
