Pity we had to resort to strike, says union head
None
Histadrut Labor Federation Chairman Ofer Eini commented on the termination of the Israeli airlines' strike, saying the government came to its senses and realized domestic airline carriers are in the national interest. Eini referred to an agreement aimed toward ensuring fair terms of competition vis-à-vis foreign companies under the terms of the "open skies" deal.
"It's a pity we had to strike, to rally and to put thousands of families through real anxiety to achieve a deal we could have reached through negotiation," Eini said. (Billy Frenkel)
