The meeting between Histadrut Labor Federation chairman Ofer Eini, Finance Ministry representatives, and Education Minister Yuli Tamir ended without any progress, Army Radio reported Sunday evening.

Union of Local Authorities (ULA) chairman Adi Eldar unexpectedly quit last week when negotiations repeatedly stalled. The strike has been going on for more than three weeks
