Third nurse hospitalized after 11 days on hunger strike, no resolution yet

A third protesting nurse, after participating in a hunger strike for eleven days, was taken to hospital. Nurses are demanding, among other things, salary increases and a statement of at least minimal rules of employment. Yesterday Labour Ministry representatives were to meet with authorities of the Nurses' Trade Union. According to union head Bozena Banachowicz, there were not to be negotiations but only preliminary discussions. (Rzeczpospolita, page 1)
