to increase the basic salaries of public workers and civil servants
by five percent.

According to Kuba, the turnout at today's strike is not as important
as last week's turnover because union members are aware that
today's strike is not aimed at exerting pressure but is rather an
expression of disagreement with the government's wage policy.
