Katz, Eini to meet for talks on train workers' dispute

Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz was scheduled to meet Histadrut Labor Federation chairman Ofer Eini on Wednesday over the issue of outsourcing train maintenance, after the National Labor Court issued a two-week injunction against a train employees strike over the issue on Monday.
If the sides fail to reach an agreement in the coming two weeks, the Labor Court will permit rail workers to stage a limited strike and Israel Railways will be allowed to implement its disputed outsourcing agreement.
