Jerusalem: Union protest disrupts public security ministry

According to this report in the Jerusalem Post, “employees of the Public Security Ministry left work for the day on Sunday to participate in a labor protest outside the ministry in Jerusalem.”   The workers are protesting over “a Finance Ministry decision not to provide incentive pay to the workers, the increasing use of individual contracts and an impasse in negotiations over additional work and responsibilities heaped on the staff members”.  The dispute at the Public Security Ministry is part of a number of industrial disputes taking place in the public sector, including one at the foreign ministry.
