A December 16 doctors' strike in
Italy has been called off because of the Italian government
crisis.
Doctors unions complained that, because of the crisis which
meant the 2017 budget bill was pushed through parliament
unchanged, they had been unable to secure necessary changes.
Doctors, vets and public-health managers said a week ago they
would strike against what they called a "derisory" pay rise in
the budget.
The doctors said the hike is "the equivalent of two coffees a
day".
The strike was initially set for November 28 but was scrubbed
by Italy's strike authority.
