Shashi Sadeh, head of the trade union division of the Histadrut, said: "Tour boss drivers are crying out for news, after four years of negotiations. The past year has been difficult and full of changes, which have made it very difficult to work at Ben Gurion Airport.
The minimum required of management for its employees was to respect the understandings we reached - and to dedicate ourselves to the end of the process.
"Unfortunately, at the last minute, the management got cold feet, and did not sign the agreement. We hope that they will recover and complete the process. The company's drivers deserve it, and will not give it up."
Israel Ganon, chairman of the Histadrut's bus drivers' organization, said: "The shuttle drivers in the State of Israel are public transportation drivers for all intents and purposes.
It is time for them to enjoy the most appropriate conditions, as befits their dedicated work around the clock for 24 hours a day. "
