The High School Teacher's Organization, a union independent of the Histadrut, has entered its 30th day of strike. Histadrut teachers have set up a strike fund for them, and a bunch of them wish to join the strike, including elementary school teachers. More interestingly, a bunch of banks owning teachers` loans and mortgages have proposed to allow strikers more slack, delaying payments, etc., and many municipal councils have guaranteed full pay for striking teachers even if the Ministry of Education doesn't..
