The National Labor Federation and the Association of Transportation Companies have reached an understanding with the Finance and Transportation ministries on a compensation outline for drivers who were not included in furlough during Operation Roaring Lion. Drivers who reported for work under rocket threats will be compensated for their shifts after months of negotiations.
The National Labor Federation and the Association of Transportation Companies, in coordination with the Finance and Transportation ministries, have finalized a compensation framework for drivers who were excluded from unpaid leave (furlough) during Operation Roaring Lion. The agreement covers drivers who remained at work despite rocket threats and were not eligible for the furlough program that applied to many other workers during the war. Compensation will be calculated per shift, retroactive to the period of the operation. The deal follows months of intensive negotiations aimed at securing the rights of drivers who continued operating under security conditions that normally would have triggered a state-mandated work stoppage. As The Zioneer earlier reported, Operation Roaring Lion — the joint US-Israel campaign against Iran — began on February 28, 2026, and ended in late March. This compensation arrangement addresses a gap in coverage that left many transportation workers without either salary or unemployment benefits during the height of the conflict.
