HEALTH workers in Germany began a two-day strike today to demand an inflation-proofed pay rise.
Hospitals, emergency services, psychiatric clinics and care facilities are all affected by the action.
Union Ver.di said the “warning” strike would send a shot across the government’s bows ahead of new pay talks starting on March 27.
