Former Doctors of Blood Bank hold rally demanding the pay
Former doctors of Natalia Kvantaliani Blood Bank have been demanding the salary debt of 6-8 months for 15 days with holding rallies in front of their former workplace.
The medical personnel went on a hunger strike until December 29 and burned a Christmas tree to symbolize how they were deprived of celebrations other people are normally celebrating.
“We have been demanding the payment what we worked for, no more and no less.
