Bari hit the nail on the head when he wrote that we are being taken for a long walk off of a short pier. Most teachers I know give their heart and soul to this job and are paid peanuts. I am a Histadrut member and have nothing but admiration for the Irgun and Ran Erez and contempt for my own union and its leader. Don't give in and I hope that we join and paralyse this country for a long time until we really get what we deserve and not the token offering the treasury would love us to accept. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
