The nurses are protesting a new draft law on\r\nmedical services, which introduces labour contracts for staff instead of\r\npermanent forms of employment. The union is objecting to the contracts,\r\nwhich they say lead to exploitation of nurses who have fewer rights, longer working\r\nhours and less quality time for patients. Union president Gardias argued the government cannot introduce such basic changes to the\r\ncountry’s health care system without prior dialogue with health professionals\r\nand patients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">\u003Cspan class=\"CM5Char2\">English:\u003C\u002Fspan> \u003Cspan class=\"CM5Char2\">\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.thenews.pl\u002Fnational\u002Fartykul151911_hunger-striking-nurses-demand-arbitration.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.thenews.pl\u002Fnational\u002Fartykul151911_hunger-striking-nurses\r\n…\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan class=\"CM5Char2\">  \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan class=\"CM5Char2\">via \u003Cbr\u002F>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">\u003Cspan class=\"CM5Char2\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan class=\"CM5Char2\">\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.labourstart.org\u002Fcgi-bin\u002Fshow_news.pl?country=Poland\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.labourstart.org\u002Fcgi-bin\u002Fshow_news.pl?country=Poland\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">\u003Cspan class=\"CM5Char2\">\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cem>This\r\narticle was published in the Collective Bargaining Newsletter.
