Grenoble mutualist clinic: dental assistants begin their eighth day of strike

FIL INFO – The dental assistants of the mutualist clinic of Grenoble begin their 8e strike day. They demand that their diploma be recognized and financially valued.

Eighth day of strike this Tuesday, May 25 for the dental assistants of the mutual hospital group (GHM) of Grenoble. Since May 18, the staff of the two centers of the mutual clinic, in Grenoble and Meylan, have been on indefinite strike.

At the heart of their demands? That their diploma be recognized and valued. “Dental assistants have been recognized as health professionals for many years, but this baccalaureate level has never been financially recognized by management”, underlines the Force Ouvrière union.

Eighth day of strike action for ten dental assistants at the Grenoble mutual clinic on May 25 – DR

“Today, dental assistants are the lowest paid staff among the staff of the GHM and do not have the Ségur bonus”. They claim an additional 44 euros gross on their payroll. Twice less than the medical secretaries, yet with the same diploma. “Dental assistants are paid less than cleaning agents and stretcher bearers at GHM! “.

For ten days, the tone has been rising. After a strike notice filed on May 13, the conflict between them and the new management of the GHM, the group With (ex-Doctegestio), he stiffened.

The claim is not, however, new. « Lhe previous directors have always said, “wait, we’ll see…” ”, explains FO delegate Thierry Carron. ” Butto, with the Segur that they do not have, the promise of Bernard Bensaïd (the CEO of Avec, editor’s note) two months ago to increase them has meant that there is a fed up! And the way he spoke to them, with contempt, heightened this feeling of injustice! “.

New mobilization this Tuesday, May 25, from 11 a.m. in front of the GHM

This Tuesday, May 25, the ten dental assistants, supported by FO, intend to make their voices heard again with the board of directors, which is due to meet at 12:30 p.m.

“Mr. Bensaïd first protects the interests of his company Doctegestio / Avec and does not forget to make an undue deduction from the accounts of the GHM for the benefit of his commercial company: 432,000 euros at the end of 2020 and 1.5 million euros. euros for 2021! “, denounces the association of friends of the mutual clinic which for several months scrapes against the resumption of the GHM by the private group.

One percent of GHM’s turnover falls under the overhead costs of the Avec group.
