Building contractors in Tel Aviv today decided to hold a three-day work stoppage “as a protest against the policy of the Commerce and Industry Ministry and its building department.”

The builders claim that the government is withholding allocations of cement and is forcing them to buy cement on the black market. The stoppage is also aimed against the projected building law.

A threatened two-hour “warning strike” by dock workers at the port of Haifa was averted today when contracting firms agreed to wage increases demanded by the workers.
