Railway Workers in Israel could Strike on Wednesday
Following the announcement last week by the Railways Workers Union in Israel that they may strike over the privatisation of Israel Railways, the Labour Court yesterday granted the Union permission to strike, but has required the Union and Israel Railways to conduct negotiations.
The next meeting is scheduled for this Wednesday after which the Union will decide whether to continue with the negotiations or begin a strike.
New Eye Test for Drivers
Following the introduction of a new regulation in Israel, from the beginning of 2012 citizens who are aged 40 or above will now be required to have a vision test every 10 years to maintain their driving licence.
The Ministry of Transport has therefore started sending out letters to drivers whose driving licences are due for renewal in 2012 and are aged 40 or over, to require them to have the new vision test before their licence can be renewed. The new regulation was introduced following a study by the Gertner Institute for Medical Policy which found that drivers with impaired vision, may affect their ability to drive and endanger themselves and others.
The new regulation will also require drivers aged 70 and above to have an eye examination every 5 years. Drivers aged 80 and above will require an eye test every 2 years.
