Ben Gurion on strike tomorrow!
Just received a message (unverified scource) that the airport is on strike tomorrow between 11.00-14.00, affecting 70 flights.
Strike is to show support for striking postal workers.
Anybody know anything more?
Actually it has been quite a long time since the last strike, it used be nearlly a monthly occurance.

Confirmed in the news as well: Tomorrow: 3 Hour Strike in TLV - Mako (Channel 2 News) (Hebrew)
Translation:
To sum up my feelings: Disgusting

This strike is totally unnecessary especially since the strikers are taking their action on behalf of workers that are unrelated to the airport. One would think that after the summer tourist season was decimated by the conflict and with a high travel period upon us things should go smoothly to put a good face forward. It's simply amazing how these union leaders fail to act for the greater good and opt to take unnecessary punative measures on pax.
