A two-month strike by junior lecturers at 11 public colleges ended on Sunday after agreements were reached over the weekend that will improve the terms of their employment, while ensuring that lecturers will give students back 30 percent of the time lost due to the strike.
The agreement was reached between the junior lecturers and the supervisor of wages in the Finance Ministry, the Committee of Public College Heads and the Council for Higher Education in Israel.
The junior lecturers, who were represented by the Koah LaOvdim (Power to the Workers) labor union during negotations, launched the strike at the beginning of the academic year about two months ago to protest their working conditions. The lecturers demanded that the colleges discontinue the practice of firing them every summer at the close of the academic year and raise their wages.
