"The nurses have the support from the city university hospital and from the union of Bulgarian teachers," Danailova said.

"We will insist to receive the demanded salary increase of 10 per cent a of July. A request will be given to the municipality to increase salaries in the 2008 budget," she said.

Nurses in Bulgarian nurseries are under the Health Ministry instead of the Education Ministry and were not part of the teachers' protests and subsequent negotiations over increased teachers salaries in September and October 2007.
