Nurses continue protest, claim government offer won't help all of them

Nurses rejected the government offer of a zl.203 a month pay rise next year and showed great determination in continuing their protest. Miroslawa Burdalska from the Nationwide Trade Union of Nurses and Midwives (OZZPiP) said that according to nurses, the solution proposed by the government does not guarantee rises for all of them. Government claims that substantial majority would benefit from it. Yesterday, some 300 of nurses were blocking a boarder crossing between Poland and Ukraine in Hrebenne, even after the police stopped their buses 10 kilometers from the border. The nurses walked the rest of the distance through meadows. (Zycie, p.5) A.D.
