Nurses protests continue, international railway lines and borders blockaded

Thousands of nurses demanding pay rises staged sit-ins, obstructed border crossings and blocked the railway line from Berlin to Moscow during the weekend. Several hundred nurses, who had been occupying the Health Ministry in Warsaw since Tuesday, blocked the street outside the building on Saturday. Nurses are among Poland's lower paid workers and demand an immediate pay rise of zl.500 to monthly wages ranging from zl.500 to zl.1.500. (Reuters, Rzeczpospolia A1) P.J.
