Nurses in Liberia’s largest hospital are said to have gone on strike to demand better pay and protective equipment

  
Liberia’s already stretched health care system has been placed under more pressure as some nurses are said to have gone on strike.
The nurses, who work at the John F Kennedy hospital in Monrovia, Liberia’s capital, have embarked on the industrial action to demand protective equipment and better pay.
A spokesperson for the health workers, John Tugbeh said:
"From the beginning of the Ebola outbreak we have not had any protective equipment to work with. As result, so many doctors got infected by the virus. We have to stay home until we get the PPEs,"
"We need proper equipment to work with [and] we need better pay because we are going to risk our lives."
Liberia has been one of the worst hit by the disease which has spread across 6 countries in West Africa.

60 Percent of Women Won’t Marry a Debtor

  We’ve come a long way since the Mad Men -esque era of the 50s and 60s, when financial security for women came exclusively in the form of a man. At least that’s according to the findings of a new survey from Charlie. We surveyed 533 single (defined as never married) women ages  18 to 40 in to find out how they think about finances when it comes to finding “the one.” According to the results, women are waiting until well into their relationships to have the “money talk.” If they don’t like what they hear, bad news: most women view potential beaus or belles with a large amount of debt as more of a liability, than an anchor. The majority of single women these days don’t believe that marriage is necessarily the ticket to financial stability. But to understand where we’re at now, it’s important to take a look at where we came from.
