Nurses go on hunger strike in PM's Chancellery

Meanwhile, in front of the PM's Office the "city" of the striking nurses is increasing in size, with over 150 tents and 2,000 signatures from people supporting the protest. "The women occupying the Chancellery are breaking the law," said Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński yesterday. He did not rule out moving them out by force. Kaczyński is in sole negotiations with the Solidarity trade union after excluding unions representing the striking nurses and doctors as they failed to show in the Dialogue Center. The strike has now entered its sixth day in almost 300 hospitals. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1; Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) A.K.
