IDF soldiers and thousands of Israeli commuters may have to find another way to get around next week.
Israel Railways workers are set to strike Sunday (May 31) according to a statement Thursday by the Workers’ Committee after a labor dispute appeared to have passed the breaking point.
It’s not clear how long the strike will last, if one actually materializes.
The job action follows “continuation of unilateral steps taken by management and systematic violations of agreements,” said the head of the workers’ union.
Workers said they have previously warned the management of Israel Railways they would strike, but their grievances were ignored.
Management responded to the threat with a statement of its own, saying it “regrets the irresponsible behavior of the workers’ committee at the expense of the citizens of Israel…. The committee was offered a number of attractive options but internal disagreements prevented them from reaching a consensus.”
