Some 7,400 social workers declared a labor dispute Monday evening, citing the consequences of implementing the Welfare Services Law for People with Disabilities on their working conditions, N12 reports. The declaration could escalate to a strike if no agreement is reached.
The declaration, first reported by N12 at 18:16, follows the union's concerns over the implementation of the Welfare Services Law for People with Disabilities, which social workers say has adversely affected their working conditions. As The Zioneer reported earlier, the move could escalate to a strike if no agreement is reached with the relevant authorities. The dispute involves approximately 7,400 social workers across Israel.
