If there are no last-minute changes, there will be a sit-in in high schools on Sunday:
the chairman of the teachers' organization Ran Erez demands that the salary of a beginning teacher in secondary education in Israel be NIS 12,000 per month. The strike comes, according to him, because the Ministry of Finance refuses to negotiate with The teachers' organization, and the secondary education teachers do not have salary agreements for an entire year.

"After a whole year of giving opportunities to the ministries of finance and education to conduct substantive negotiations with the teachers' organization regarding the salaries of secondary education teachers, water came to an end.
The teachers' organization announces that this coming Sunday there will be a one-day warning strike in secondary education.
With the exception of special education schools," Erez said today (Friday).

"The strike comes as a result of the fact that the Ministry of Finance refuses to negotiate matters with the teachers' organization, and the secondary education teachers do not have salary agreements for an entire year!
The demand of the teachers' organization is that the salary of a teacher starting in secondary education should be NIS 12,000.
The Ministry of Finance disrespects the teachers and the decisions of the National Labor Court, which ordered the state several times to hold substantive and continuous negotiations and reach agreements regarding teachers' salaries. The Ministry of Finance is abusing the patience shown by the teachers' organization for a whole year and dragging its feet on purpose."
