Mass strike averted as deal reached to see minimum wage raised to NIS 5,000

Head of Israel's top labor union has reached a deal which will see Israel's minimum wage go up significantly, preventing a crippling general strike which was slated to begin Thursday.

 

Histadrut Labor Union Chairman Avi Nissenkorn and Tzvika Oren, head of an umbrella group of industrialist employers, met and announced that they have reached an agreement regarding the union's demand to see Israel's dismal minimum wage raised by NIS 700 to 5,000 shekels a month, up from 4,300.
