finally, a strike I approve of
Israel's flour mills are
on strike. Not for better working conditions. Not for grievances against management. No, the price of wheat has gone up, and they're striking
for government approval to raise flour prices:
The government, which must approve the price increase, has made no immediate decision on the demand for a 20 percent price rise.
Meanwhile, many bakeries have run out of flour. Others bought flour on the black market, where there is still some available but at inflated prices.
