Parents threaten total school shutdown
Haaretz - November 1, 2007
The battle over the three-week-old high school teachers strike is getting
angrier and more complicated, with parents now threatening to force a
shutdown of the entire education system, and the National Labor Court giving
the striking teachers until Sunday to respond to a petition demanding the
resumption of teaching in grades 11 and 12.
While Union of Local Authorities chairman Adi Eldar angrily quit as mediator
between the government and the Secondary School Teachers Organization
earlier this week, placing the ULA squarely in support of the labor court
back-to-work orders, at least six mayors came out on the side of the union
and against such injunctions on Thursday. The injunctions require the
support of the local councils, technically the teachers' employers, to be
implemented.
The National Parents Association threatened to widen the scope of the
strike, saying it will keep its children out of all schools, from pre-school
to high school, and shut down the education system if the labor court orders
the striking teachers back to work.
