Water Strike Illegal
The Labor Court resolved on Thursday that the water workers strike was illegal and that they must return to work. The majority planned to return on Friday.
The Water Institute may not pay salaries to the workers for the days they were on strike, but instead of deducting those days from upcoming checks, the Labor Ministry and management are looking for other ways to take back the salary. One possibility is to increase the office hours and have the workers work overtime without pay.
