Members of ZSP in Wroclaw are involved in the organization of doctoral students at Wroclaw
University. The working conditions of the doctoral students are particularly bad. They are
required to do teaching and research and receive a stipend which is even less than minimal
wage. And in some of the humanities department, they don't even receive that. The doctoral
students are demanding a raise to the level of minimal wage. They do not currently receive
the minimum because they are not considered "workers". ---- On Jan. 27, the students held
a protest in front of Wroclaw University. Their demands were given to the University and
published on their new internet page. ---- The students are considering an escalation in
action, perhaps a strike, if their demands are not met. ---- ZSP has doctoral students in
other cities and it is possible that this protest will spread.
