I guess I am used to strong unions in New Jersey. ----Just my 2 cents....

"Instead of Easter Monday as was agreed in court, the parties met on Good Friday already. During that meeting, the government proposed right away to pay the public employees 65 florins per month in compensations."
According to the same article in the link above, the government originally offered Afl. 80 per month. I never heard how much the government workers were asking.
