Peru Medical Strike, Handheld Pump Horns

Doctors in Peru have been on strike for five weeks, demanding higher wages in a country with a dynamic economy but stagnant public sector pay. Senior physicians reportedly earn as little as $1,500 a month. Protesters in Lima are using unique handheld pump horns that create a loud, high-pitched sound similar to an air horn, a device the hosts find more effective than the whistles used in European protests.
