Source: Ken Mürk/ERR News The head of the Health Insurance Fund's management board, Siiri Lahe, said regarding the healthcare unions' demands for pay increases that they do responsible and important work and their pay must keep pace with the times, but at the same time one must proceed from real possibilities.

Healthcare workers' unions announced on Friday that they are turning to the national conciliator, because collective bargaining negotiations with the Health Insurance Fund - in which they sought a rise in minimum pay faster than the Estonian average for the next two years - ended without results.
