Four organizations including the National Union OF Private Health (UNSP-FO) and the FO Social Action Federation (FNAS-FO) call on staff in their sectors (private non-profit, home help, Ugecam, etc.) to a strike and a demonstration in Paris on April 8.
These social and medico-social employees, for the moment excluded from the Ségur de la Santé measures, signed last July in particular by FO, and still being the subject of negotiations for its improvement (grids, bonuses, etc.), claim between others obtaining the additional salary of 183 euros, provision resulting from this protocol. At the beginning of March the UNSP-FO thus specified, there are still 15,000 public sector workers and over 200,000 in the private non-profit sector who are excluded
. They demand that the government open negotiations as soon as possible for equal treatment of public and private employees
.
Strikes, rallies, demonstrations
With regard to the public hospital, if the negotiations are continuing well for the reinforcement of the Ségur measures and if the non-medical personnel already perceive the increase resulting from the protocol, of 183 euros, the health crisis is still putting the agents to the test. in the field. In this complicated context, they also have to face, on certain sites, the continuation of restructuring, mergers between structures, the chronic shortage of personnel, etc.
In recent weeks, FO alone or with other unions has called for strikes and / or demonstrations in several cities. On March 15, orthopedic surgery nurses at Niort hospital (Deux-Sèvres) were on strike, exhausted by degraded working conditions while, by the reorganization of services in the context of the Covid crisis, half of the service has been assigned to other care units.
Workforce, bonuses, working conditions …
In Ardèche, the agents of the Bourg-Saint-Andeol hospital also protested, through the strike, in March, against the abolition of a bonus and thus the loss each month of 45 to 130 euros. In Dreux (Eure-et-Loir), in mid-February, it was the human resources department which was on strike, demanding human resources
to cope with the ever-increasing workload. In Dordogne, the staff of the Vauclaire psychiatric hospital disengaged at the end of February, contesting the removal of 407 RTT day workers.
In Fourmies (North), the agents demonstrated on March 11 expressing their fears about the imminent departure of the surgery department to a private clinic in the town of Wignehies. In Libourne (Gironde), in mid-February, the striking agents denounced the threat of a continuation beyond next September of the organization of work over twelve hours in the hospital.
At the beginning of March, in Vichy in Allier, it was for the agents, organizing a demonstration, to obtain additional staff, recalling that one hundred positions have been cut over the past four years at the hospital. In mid-March, in St-Dizier (Haute-Marne), staff challenged the merger project between two hospitals (André Breton and Geneviève de Gaulle-Anthonioz) …
And this list of dissatisfaction is not exhaustive.
