Israeli airlines set to strike on Sunday
Workers at El Al, Arkia, and Israir airlines are planning a strike at 5 am on Sunday, and the Histadrut labor union will be supporting them.
The unions are protesting the "Open Skies" policy struck with the European Union that will allow more foreign carriers to fly into the Middle Eastern country, and more Israeli flights into the EU.
The governments say the move will improve competition and lower travel costs to and within Israel, but the unions say it also will cost Israeli jobs.
The union said that "Israeli citizens will not support a deal that will sacrifice the incomes of thousands of families just to please foreign carriers."
