Israel - Diplomatic staff and strikebreaking (2011)

Throughout most of 2010 diplomatic staff organised by the Foreign Ministry’s trade union undertook strike action and go-slows. The government responded to the numerous actions by asking security bureau officials (Mossad) to undertake some of the work usually done by the diplomatic and foreign office staff, thus engaging in union busting. Diplomats state that they are paid far less than security officials yet do similar work.
