The chief of Israel’s largest labor union, the Histadrut Labor Federation, is planning a massive one-day strike on Monday to demand a cease-fire deal after hostages were found dead.
Israel’s largest labor union is planning a massive strike for Monday to demand a cease-fire deal between the nation and Hamas after six Israeli hostages were found dead in a Hamas tunnel.
„We are getting body bags instead of a deal“, Histadrut Labor Federation chief Arnon Bar-David said Sunday to reporters, according to Reuters.
„We must reach a deal. A deal is more important than anything else“, he said.
The Histadrut Labor Federation is Israel’s main labor union that represents hundreds of thousands of workers. Bar-David’s call for a one-day strike was supported by manufacturers and tech entrepreneurs in the country, according to Reuters.
„Without the return of the hostages, we will not be able to end the war, we will not be able to rehabilitate ourselves as a society, and we will not be able to begin to rehabilitate the Israeli economy“, Israel’s Manufacturers’ Association leader Ron Tomer said in support of Bar-David’s call for a strike.
