Israel +Major Strike at Ben-Gurion Airport+

Israel - Workers employed at Ben-Gurion International Airport have walked off the job at this time. The strike sanctions are causing delays in departing flights.

The sanctions are intended to prevent the layoffs of 120 temporary airport workers, according to the airport labor union. Port Authority officials have said that the reason for the strike is the family connections between the union leaders and the workers slated to be laid off.
