Some 7,400 social workers declare labor dispute

Some 7,400 social workers have declared a labor dispute, N12 reported Monday evening. The move could escalate to a strike if no agreement is reached.

The social workers' declaration marks the latest labor dispute in Israel's public sector. It follows a similar threat by the Nurses' Union in June, as The Zioneer reported earlier. The social workers have not yet detailed the grounds for the dispute, which could lead to a strike if no agreement is reached in mediation.
