The public sector and the Histadrut labor federation are protesting delays in payment of salaries to local government and religious council employees and firefighters. The public sector strike, now entering its second day, has grounded outgoing flights at Ben-Gurion International Airport, paralyzed seaports and train lines, and closed all land borders, government offices, employment bureaus, courts, National Insurance Institute (NII) branches, the Israel Lands Administration and vehicle licensing offices. Full story.
