Israel airport Ground staff staged short strike over pensions

The stoppage by Israel Airports Authority workers in support of pension demands occurred during one of the busiest holiday periods of the year in Israel
 
Ground staff at Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion airport, Israel's main international airport, declared last week an indefinite strike halting all outgoing flights. The strike ended eight hours later after the government reached an agreement on pension demands.
 
The stoppage by Israel Airports Authority workers in support of pension demands occurred during one of the busiest holiday periods of the year in Israel. Flights already en route to Ben-Gurion, Israel's main international airport, were being allowed to land but all ground services such as offloading of baggage were suspended.
 
In a statement, the Finance Ministry said agreement had been reached with the workers on the transfer of pension funds into a trust fund, their main demand.
