Secondary school teachers to go on strike beginning Wednesday

By Or Kashti and Tamara Traubmann, Haaretz Correspondent

The Secondary Schools Teachers' Association decided Tuesday to go on strike 
throughout the country beginning Wednesday, shutting down grades 7 through 
12.

"Despite the fact that the Finance Ministry committed itself in writing to 
conducting uninterrupted, intensive, and effective negotiations, we have 
remained in the same situation," said Ran Erez, the association's chairman, 
prior to the decision.

"This attempt has also failed," he added. "It has been made clear to us 
beyond any doubt that the objective of the Finance Ministry is to drag its 
feet, get as close as possible to the end of the school year, and delay 
continuation of the struggle to next year. We have received negative 
responses to all of our demands, and the Finance Ministry was committed to 
dealing first with shortening the process of firing teachers
