Minister looks for ways to undermine striking doctors

He was greeted with a gathering of about 200 doctors with their families from hospitals in the region shouting, "We want to talk". Dorn refused to hold any talks until it was confirmed that the strike in the Center was legal, which he doubted. Dorn also threatened to undertake legal action against any doctor breaking the law by going on strike. The Polish Trade Union of Doctors commented that the government is trying to scare them instead of having a discussion based on arguments because the government knows they would lose it.
