Nurse threaten to strike in two weeks if not listened to

"The doctors have been given a weapon which is the directive limiting the working hours. They claim that the number of doctors is not enough and demand increases," said Dorota Gardias, the head of the nurses' unions. "The number of nurses is also insufficient! We are working in 12 hour shifts to which doctors do not agree. We will not agree to the fact that a nurse will be earning less than zł.1,000 a month while a doctor will receive this sum for a one weekend shift," she added. Therefore the nurses are threatening to go on strike on January 21. It was revealed that this time they will not be manifesting in front of the PM's chancellery but are ready to walk away from the patients' beds.
