Title: Unions Rally in Lyon to Denounce Catastrophic Situation in Medical Field
Date: June 20, 2023
In response to the ongoing pension reform and the dire state of hospitals, unions in Lyon have organized a national rally of public hospital staff. The rally, scheduled for Tuesday, June 20, aims to express the unions’ incomprehension and denounce the catastrophic situation of hospitals.
Four out of the five main unions, namely FO, SUD, CGT, and UNSA, have come together to call for this demonstration. Géraldine Musseo, the secretary general of FO du Rhône, emphasizes the unions’ discontent and their determination to address the issues faced by the medical field, particularly in Lyon.
The demonstration will take place in front of the Regional Health Agency (ARS) in Lyon at 11:30 a.m. The unions aim to draw attention to the pressing need for change, especially regarding the numerous vacant nursing positions. Géraldine Musseo highlights that there are currently over 300 vacant nursing positions at the Hospices Civiles de Lyon.
The unions’ demands remain consistent with those made during the Covid-19 pandemic. They include a wage increase, a halt to the closure of hospital beds, and a significant improvement in working conditions. These demands reflect the urgent need to address the challenges faced by healthcare professionals.
Additionally, FO raises concerns about the impact of the Parcoursup system on nursing schools. The recent modifications to the enrollment process have led to a misunderstanding of the application process, negatively affecting nursing education.
The unions’ rally in Lyon serves as a powerful statement against the pension reform and sheds light on the critical situation in the medical field. By coming together and voicing their concerns, the unions hope to bring about meaningful change and improvements in the healthcare system.
