Wave of strikes over economic program slated for next week By Haim Bior, Mazal Mualem and Relly Sa'ar A wave of strikes prompted by the government's new economic program is slated to begin next week, with the civil servants and the schools beginning partial sanctions on Sunday and the local authorities starting a full-fledged strike on Tuesday. The local authorities are also planning a full-fledged strike on Tuesday, but theirs will be open-ended. The strike means there will be no garbage collection, no municipal welfare services, no security guards in schools and no assistants in the kindergartens. According to the local authorities, they declared the strike because the government's economic program will cause "the collapse of what remains of the welfare state" and will "paralyze the local authorities." |

More censorship needed, stop workers reading material which may incite them to rebel against their employers and the government. Distract workers from the current economic crash, by focussing on them national security. More suicide bombers needed to distract people from bread and butter politics, and focus their attention on patriotic protectionism. Strikes aren't allowed in banana republics, you need a one party state, where the public have a no choice or a choice between voting for, blatantly right wing ultra patriotic dog eat dog capitalists party, or a watered down, blatantly capitalist moderately nationalistic party, or a party that purports to be socialist but is really national patriotic capitalist party, in other words no choice at all.
SWP write off the Israeli working class, surely Israeli workers taking action aginst their employers shows that the working class of Israel do exist! and there is a class consciousness among a number of workers!
