The Asspur union continues with the protests in the health sector of Río Negro, following a new evaluation of the situation they announced that This week there will be a strike of 72 in the hospitals and medical centers of the province. The measure will begin today and was announced following being announced the rejection of the salary offer provided by the Government.
In the midst of a week of protests by the provincial health sector demanding improved salaries and adequate working conditions, The Asspur union reported that this week there would be a new hospital strike to continue making their situation visible. The last joint meeting with the provincial government did not reach an agreement and the union expressed its “absolute rejection of the salary offer.”
In this sense, they had announced that During this week they would carry out a three-day strike that would take place on March 19, 20 and 21.
“We want to clarify that the increase means in real terms, an informal sum of 50 to 60 thousand pesos more in the pockets of the workers whose salaries have been frozen since November,” they expressed. They also pointed out once morest the Government and pointed out that it “does not have the decision to recompose the conditions of the health sector, ignoring that today the great conflict is in public health.”
From the union they recalled that they will continue to demand: urgent call for a Health Sector Joint Partnership; significant percentage increase in real wages for the entire sector; and that no worker is below the family basket.
In the last few hours, the union expressed its “absolute rejection” of the salary proposal presented by the Government. One of them is to grant an exceptional one-time bonus per agent of $60,000.
«We consider that this proposal is not only insufficient, but that it plunges us even deeper into poverty and job insecurity. It is unacceptable that we are expected to live with salaries that leave us in poverty, while we dedicate our lives to taking care of the health of the community,” they confirmed.
Strike in hospitals in Río Negro: camps and assemblies continue
Unlike what happens in the rest of the province, Bariloche hospital workers carry out an indefinite strike, with the support of all unions. On Monday, in a new assembly with hundreds of participants, they resolved to insist on a meeting with Governor Alberto Weretilneck.
They hope to convey their discontent with the current salaries and also the outright rejection of the proposals that led to the joint agreement. They seek to obtain a “percentage” recomposition of basic assets that will allow them to “not lose more quality of life”.
The parameter invoked by the Bariloche hospitalists is a basic basket of 900 thousand pesos. The nurse delegate Marcelo Vera said that in this specialty there are salaries that barely exceed 350 thousand pesos and that “If everything has not exploded until now, it is because the bulk of workers supplement their income with overtime.”
For its part, the López Lima workers’ camp continues in Roca. On Sunday, a festival was held to make the claim visible and bring joy to those who remain 24 hours a day fighting for their salaries.
«Today the Public Health of the Province of Río Negro suffers an atrocious depletion, which leaves the community, the institutions and their workers in such a critical state that it cannot even ensure the delivery of basic medications in the CAPS and the provision of supplies in the emergency ward and in all hospital services, which “it makes it impossible to provide quality care,” they said from the Roca Workers Assembly.
