In particular, the participants of the strike include workers from hospitals, psychiatric clinics, ambulances and institutions with permanent care for patients, the local broadcaster reported. The exact number of striking health workers is unknown, but the action affected over 30 medical facilities in the southern German federal state of Bavaria alone. The famous Berlin-based hospital Charite has also joined the strike, the report said. The health workers' strike is expected to continue on Wednesday. Over the past two months, the Ver.di trade union organized several major strikes, some of which led to mass flight cancellations and disruptions in services of public transport across the country. Trade unions are demanding a 10.5% increase in base wages or at least 500 euros ($544) per month. They have rejected a counter offer from employers on a 5% increase, with a lump sum payment of 2,500 euros,. The next round of talks is scheduled for March 27.
