"German public sector workers fighting plans to extend their working hours have widened their strike action to cover most of the country. An estimated 20,000 local and regional authority staff including nurses..."

Nationalized healthcare means that your nurses *all* go out on strike at once. Ditto for doctors.

...hope you don't need healthcare during those strikes.

In a related story...

"Eager Poles find German jobs "

As soon as Genek Zelewski slams the doors of his lorry in Berlin, the race against the clock begins.

Every day, he picks up sacks of dirty washing in the German capital and drives it across the border to the Textil Fliegel laundry in Gryfino, northwestern Poland.

Within 24 hours, it has to be immaculate and back in the pristine dining rooms of Berlin's top hotels.

The company achieves its goal, through seamless logistics and an impressive, high-tech computer-controlled laundry.

But the real cutting edge is the dozens of Polish women, patiently folding towels and bathrobes and checking each piece of linen for the slightest imperfection.

hehe that's not the way germans go to strike - certainly all necessary services are fullfilled by a core team tha's not on strike.

Maybe some doctors will have to order pizza instead of goin to the casino or our rubbish will be removed a day later.

I heard of some surgeons to be carried out delayed - but only the ones that are not time critical.

If you got private personal but they still are in a union you better pray they strike like germans.
