Ashkenazi has taken great pride in his consistent refusal toprepare the IDF to launch a preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear facilities against the expressed wishes of Netanyahu and Barak.
Analysts cite reports that the National Union of Mineworkers has called upon its members at the state-owned energy provider Eskom toprepare for a strike.
ONEMI, the Chilean National Emergency Office, has been in close contact with the seismologists, trying toprepare for a future earthquake that could strike anytime.
The motion instructs the union's leaders to"prepare to ballot members for a national one-day strike in co-operation with other teachers' organisations and public sector unions".
