Paragraph 1
The French
and labour unions have agreed a pay rise of $9 billion for health workers. The
cash means that workers will get an extra $208 a month in their pay
. Public
doctors will also get more money. The Prime Minister said the pay rise was to recognise the
of health workers during the coronavirus pandemic. He said: "No one can deny that this is a
moment for our health
." During the
,
of French people applauded nurses and doctors. This caused the government to reward
with a rise in pay.
