Protests at hundreds of hospitals in Romania

Medical staff across Romania staged a warning strike due to dissatisfaction with a new pay law, threatening a general strike on July 28 if demands are unmet. The protests involved healthcare workers from numerous hospitals, who expressed their grievances regarding the new salary regulations and hiring freeze. They argue that the revised law creates unfair bonus distribution, perpetuating income disparities. Union leaders plan to present their proposals to political parties and are seeking discussions with the Presidential Administration. The SANITAS Federation has indicated a general strike will commence if negotiations fail.
