Israeli physicians increase strike action


 
Hospitals to go on strike after late-night talks fail.

The Israeli Medical Association has declared a series of new, harsher protest moves following the failure of its negotiations with Health Ministry and Treasury officials regarding physicians’ employment conditions, starting with a general strike on Monday 20th June.  It was suggested that so far the sanctions have not been harsh, so they were hardly felt by the public.

The talks began on the evening of Sunday 19th June and lasted until early Monday morning.  The negotiations ended with no progress resulting in strikes in hospitals and Clalit Health Clinics.  Negotiations were scheduled to resume on Monday evening.
