Nurses and midwives in the Australian state of New South Wales have staged a 12-hour strike demanding higher wages amid a shortage of staff in health facilities.
This was reported by the ABC TV channel, RIA Novosti writes.
The protesters called for a 15% wage increase within a year.
Earlier, the German train drivers' union GDL succeeded in getting the railway company Deutsche Bahn to introduce a 35-hour working week without a pay cut.
