From the article: "Tens of thousands of Israeli workers launched an open-ended general strike on Wednesday that crippled the country's airports, seaports, railways, government offices, banks, the stock exchange and many other services. Marathon overnight talks between the Histadrut labor federation and the government failed to avert the walkout, which began at 9 a.m. (0700 GMT) because thousands of municipal workers haven't been paid for months. Past strikes have lasted for days, each day costing the economy tens of millions of dollars (euros) in losses."
