Any way you read it, it sounds impossible. Now, there have been some very important strikes waged over the decades - both here and around the world, which have revolutionized the conditions and life of the workers. Those strikes had merit, even at the time, not just in retrospect. This strike does not. This is a few thousand people striking about a settlement which has been almost totally adhered to.
Water is turned off in different parts of the country, for different periods of time.
For the past several days now, no matter where in the country you live, you have lost your water. Sometimes for only a few minutes, sometimes for up to eighteen hours. On average, water workers make fifteen to seventeen thousand shekel per month. Not bad - by American or Israeli standards. The leaders of the strike are earning at least twice that much.
