[etni] Teachers' strike / Saving face

Teachers' strike / Saving face
Haaretz - October 29, 2007
By Yossi Sarid

One would not have expected so many mistakes in a single script from the 
Education Ministry, some of them truly horrendous: First, from the outset 
the two teachers' unions should not have been separated. The treasury was 
counting on its divide-and-rule stratagem. Big mistake. Instead, to 
paraphrase our sages, when unions vie, conflict mounts. After getting the 
latest dirt over the weekend on the negotiations, I've concluded that the 
Ministries of Education and Finance, blind as they are, put a stumbling 
block in their own way and are now killing themselves figuring out how to 
get around it.
