A general strike will begin Monday 6:00 a.m., barring a last-minute decision by the National Labor Court.
The Histadrut labor federation declared the strike after the Finance Ministry did not satisfy its demands on the issue of contract workers. The Histadrut is calling for cleaning, security and maintenance staff servicing the public sector to be moved to permanent employment.
