The teachers' union said it would launch labor sanctions and classes would begin at kindergartens, elementary and middle schools three hours late or at 11:00 A.M. on Tuesday.
- Local Authorities Strike, Shutting Down Schools Across Israel
- No Sanction for Principal Who Invited Anti-occupation Group
- Education Ministry Weakens Advisory Committees With New Rules
The job action follows a dispute with the Education Ministry over a failure to pay full salaries to all teachers. Special education will not be affected by the sanctions, and will be held as normal.
A union statement said "thousands of teachers have been caused undue harm due to Education Ministry failures to provide proper compensation as part of the 'New Horizon' reform."
