On Wednesday, April 03, 2024, between 12:00 and 13:00, the unions affiliated to the “Sanitary Solidarity” Federation will organize a warning strike in public health facilities. This protest action will be attended by union members and other employees who have signed for the strike on the “Health Solidarity” trade union lists, the protest also benefiting from the solidarity demonstrations from other employees.
This protest action expresses the support of the participants for the legitimate demands of health workers, the most important requests aiming at the increase of real salary incomes, the indexation of salary incomes with the level of inflation, the fair reward for participating in ensuring the continuity of medical services and carrying out the activity in different working conditions, the elimination of serious wage inequities, accentuated by the latest normative act in the field of wages (EOG no. 19/2024).
The warning strike is part of the strike directed against the economic and social policies of the Government, which was launched by the “Health Solidarity” Federation against the background of the Government’s refusal to negotiate and grant the legitimate rights of health workers.
The organization and conduct of the warning strike is done in compliance with the legal provisions regarding ensuring at least one third of the normal activity and the normal functioning of all emergency services. We specify that in addition to the measures provided by the law, in order to protect both the proper functioning of health facilities in the specific conditions of the protest and the possibility of the effective exercise of the right to strike for health workers, the “Health Solidarity” Federation previously requested the Government to conclude an Agreement regarding the strike procedure in the health system, it refusing this additional protection procedure.
