Hospital workers protest top echelon pay boost

Workers in  Hospital Santo Tomás (HST) followed up their  Tuesday morning strike on Wednesday with a march to protest pay increases to senior staff in the hospital and the Hospital del Nino.

According to Lizandro Quintero, of the Association of the HST Workers Association, they are asking that this increase be left without effect to some bosses at the top end of the salary scale.

He said that everyone is on the salary scale and if there is money for the bosses there should also be for the employees.

They criticized the Board of the Children’s Hospital and asked the authorities for a  fast response.
