Frankfurt. Collective bargaining on greater functioning situations for nurses at the Frankfurt College Clinic is about to enter a crucial stage of negotiations. If the clinic management and the Verdi union do not attain an arrangement this Wednesday, each sides are planning for a two-working day warning strike on Thursday and Friday.
The clinic is getting organizational safeguards for an warn strike introduced by Verdi, a spokesperson reported Tuesday evening. “This will result in major restrictions on health care treatment at the Frankfurt College Hospital.” It was agreed with the union that emergency treatment would be maintained. Verdi confirms this.
A collective settlement and concessions are staying negotiated for about 4,000 non-healthcare employees of the college clinic. The union needs, among other items, respect for self-imposed personal relationships. This signifies, for example, how several people a ward nurse has to look right after for each change. “The university hospital has two possibilities: either it employs sufficient workers or it has to slash down on services,” said Georg Schulze, a negotiator for Verdi.
Verdi criticizes the reality that functioning disorders are so tense “that carers are now ever more leaving their jobs or reducing doing the job several hours”. Rieke Kolbeck of the College Hospital’s anesthesiology department reported: “Time pressure is what problems us most.”
The employers’ aspect perceived the earlier negotiations as a “constructive, final results-oriented, eye-level course of action,” discussed the spokesperson for the university healthcare facility. In collective bargaining it is in the nature of issues that bargaining companions go after different positions. “Even so, we are certain that equally sides have a common intention of further improving doing the job problems for personnel, in line with the finest probable care for patients,” mentioned the spokesperson.
