OWe are in such a serious situation that we must alert the general public, it concerns everyone. “, begins Gilberte Mandon (FSU) in the meeting room of the Bourse du travail where the nine retirement organizations have invited the press to highlight a new initiative. A gesticulated conference scheduled for Friday, September 20 at the Maison de la Méditerranée at 6:30 p.m. With on stage a former nursing executive who delivers a real performance by retracing life behind the scenes at the hospital.
« The goal is to get people thinking through a real show lasting more than an hour and a half, a little sarcastic. “, adds the union leader.
For Brigitte Cheinet (CGT), the comments made by the new Prime Minister Michel Barnier (LR) show the urgency of raising the broadest possible awareness of the deterioration of the public hospital system which, if nothing is done, will get worse. His first outing at the hospital was to announce that they are going to ask for budgetary restrictions again, while even the national hospital federation is asking for a 6% increase in budgets. We continue to deny the evidence of a suffering staff and the closures of beds and services that are degrading this public service. “, the union member is indignant.
« We are walking on our heads more and more. The staff can’t take it anymore. ” she says indignantly.
And to continue: “ The idea is precisely to engage the public so that they can hear the situation in hospitals, but not in the traditional way with the high mass said by the speakers.. »
In any case, she concludes: ” It cannot remain as it is, health is not a commodity. ! People need to mobilize otherwise they will continue to destroy everything. »
