Israeli Trade Union resumed nationwide strike this morning as it failed to reach an agreement with the Finance Ministry over pension reform, Israel Radio reported.

Trade Union leader Amir Perez said today that he had informed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Ezer Weizman that the negotiations between striking workers and the Treasury have fallen through.

Some 700,000 workers took part in the strike which was launched Wednesday in protest against government plans for wages reform and privatization. And today's strike will spread to workers of the education system and public transportation.
