18 delegations to Poland canceled due to Foreign Ministry strike
None
The Jerusalem Regional Labor Court dismissed the request of the Education Ministry to issue an injunction against the Foreign Ministry workers union, meant to require them to issue diplomatic passports to school delegations' guards traveling to Poland. Following the decision, 18 delegations to Poland in the next two weeks were canceled.
A source at the Education Ministry said: "It can't be that parents saved money for a long time for their children, and because of the Foreign Ministry's behavior, the money will go down the drain." (Shachar Chai)
