Street-protesting Polish Nurses Threaten to Stay Put

on has threatened to launch a hunger strike unless the government gives in to its demands for a massive pay hike.

Medical workers also protested elsewhere in Poland Monday.

In the southern city of Krakow, several hundred doctors and nurses held a street demonstration before handing regional governor Maciej Klima a petition for Kaczynski.

"I'm a doctor myself, and I'll be your advocate," Klima told them, according to PAP.

A similar demonstration took place in Katowice, in the heart of Poland's Silesian industrial region.

Poland's state-employed medical workers are notoriously overworked and underpaid, like their counterparts across most of the former communist bloc.

Polish nurses earn the local equivalent of 290-340 euros (390-450 dollars) a month, while the average pay packet for hospital doctors is 395 euros.

The government has said that Poland lacks the budget to grant health workers major pay hikes.
