This morning Israel Railways workers committee called a wildcat strike of development work starting tomorrow. As a result lines due to be closed for the development and maintenance of lines will now remain open.
Histadrut chairman Ofer Eini had instructed railway workers not to cooperate with the government's planned railways reform. However, due to fears of a backlash from passengers if services were again strikebound, the workers preferred to suspend development work.
Histradrut transport workers association chairman Avi Edri said, "At this stage we have chosen to impose immediate sanctions in a way that does not harm passengers. We call on the minister of transport and Israel Railways management to stop escalating the situation and immediately return to the negotiating table so that we won't need to take additional action."
Histadrut chairman Ofer Eini said, "The Israel Railways board continues to take unilateral steps and escalate work relations. Railways employees will not cooperate with the reform and that means there will be no reform."
