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.
