Ran Erez, chairman of the teachers' union, again threatened today (Wednesday) that the next school year in high schools will not open on time.
At a press conference, Erez said: "We have decided that we will not open the 1-<> school year without a signed wage agreement. We say this months in advance – we won't start the school year." Erez held the press conference with the countdown clock behind him until the September <> strike if a wage agreement in secondary education is not signed.

The chairman of the teachers' union said that the Finance Ministry's claim that the organization's financial demands are excessive compared to the teachers' union and the general union is unacceptable to us. "They want to dismantle organized labor. We excite the spirit of the Kohelet Forum." Erez added that Education Minister Yoav Kisch "doesn't understand us."
Erez added: "We are currently considering disrupting the second dates of the matriculation exams and prohibiting principals from preparing for the next school year." On the issue of the ban on travel to Poland, Erez said it was a painful and difficult issue, but "we have reached a situation where there is no choice."
