Workers in the National Healthcare System (NHS) have announced a one hour warning strike on Monday October 29.

This was announced on October 26 in a press statement from union KT Podkrepa, quoted by BTA.

Healthcare workers are demanding a 60 per cent raise in salary.

Representatives of the union did not accept the budget proposal for salaries in the NHS. The budget proposal was the reason to call for the strike.

Employees of the NHS, through their unions, were in an open conflict under the Law for arrangement of collective labour conflicts, and an agreement in this conflict had not been found yet, the announcement said.
