To the grave disappointment of parents throughout the country, the Teachers Union announces it is resuming its strike tomorrow after it fails to reach a compromise with the Finance Ministry.
Kindergartens, elementary schools and Hebrew-language programs, known as ulpanim, will be shuttered as part of the strike. High schools and special education programs are not meant to be affected, though in some cases they have been.
This will be the third day within the span of a week that the Teachers Union has gone on strike as it battles with the Finance Ministry over better salaries and working conditions.
“We have been negotiating with Finance Ministry officials for half a year and the only offer they’ve made has been laughable. Those officials don’t care about anything, not about education, not about students and not about parents,” says secretary-general of the Teachers Union Yaffa Ben David.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
