      Social Workers' Sanctions in 75th Day


      Social workers continued their recently widened work sanctions Tuesday, the 75th day since they began to restrict services. Their union began negotiations with the Finance and Welfare Ministries Monday.

      Union leaders warned they would not return to a full work schedule until there is progress in the talks. They are demanding an additional 1,000 work positions to relieve the workload and want more security protection.
