The unions of the hospital center had called for a rally, Thursday, March 23, on the sidelines of the movement against the pension reform.
Discontent day in Millau. After the high school students expressing their anger by deciding to block Jean-Vigo, it is the turn of the caregivers, this Thursday, March 23, to express their dissatisfaction on this ninth day of mobilization against the pension reform.
About fifty white coats had gathered in front of the hospital, before some went to Rodez, where the demonstration was held in the afternoon. Through Pierre-Jean Girard, trade unionist at Sud-solidaires, many were called upon to “disengage for a three-hour strike” in this “pivotal day in relation to the fight against pension reform.”
Because evil does not pass. Even after the rejection of the motion of censure on Monday March 21, the mobilization does not weaken. White-hot by a “President deaf and beside the plate on this popular movement which started more than two months ago”the demonstrators did not take off as to the choices made by the government, both in terms of form and substance.
“An interprofessional fight”
“This reform is particularly unfair, especially in the hospital and the careers of our female colleagues, sometimes chopped, and there, we will be even more impacted, we will leave even later”, continues the trade unionist. In the line of sight, the justification by the executive to pass its reform in the name of financial balance.
“We are told that 12 billion are missing, but that is false, Macron and Borne have made 17 billion in exemptions for companies this year, laments Pierre-Jean Girard. It is a strategic choice for the richest and the capital. We are on class contempt. There have never been so many rich people with record profits so why not tax them to fund the hospital?”
Faced with this observation, the nursing staff does not intend to let go of the ballast in “this interprofessional fight where we will have to continue, keep abreast of the actions to come from the inter-union and participate in them.” Unity is strength.
