Nurses demand govt employment (pix)

The nurses wanted the government to fulfill its promise of offering more than 3,600 positions with full state benefits.

    Here come the endless demands for benefits. Next it will be demands for raises. And pensions.

    This is not the role of government.

    Another forgotten promise from the government Perhaps they though they would get away with this one too.
    As a result, white shirts are rallying in front of the Government House where the yellow and the red shirts had their turns. Who's next? The teachers?
