Municipal council workers there went back to work today, following an annuouncement by Mayor Eli Landau that he was incrreasiong the wages of lower-paid workers “from the normal sources.” The Finance Ministry responeded by saying that Ladndau’s step was illegal and a “flagrant breach of the local government law” which gives mayors and village council chairmen little leeway on how they can dispense funds covered by national agreements.
