The inter-union of health professionals, bringing together the CGT, FO, Solidaires and Unsa, is calling for a day of mobilization on Tuesday October 29 to denounce the Social Security financing bill (PLFSS) for 2025, discussed since Monday at the National Assembly. The hospital public service unions also filed notice on Monday for a national strike renewable from November 4 to December 21.
For unions, the planned increase of 2.8% in health insurance spending and 3.1% in public health establishments “are far from meeting needs”. “Today this PLFSS is far from the expectations of users, far from the expectations of health professionals”alerted Malika Belarbi, departmental secretary of the CGT Santé social action of Hauts-de-Seine, contacted by France Inter. “We were applauded during Covid and we are once again becoming these lazy civil servants who are expensive, it’s starting to be too much and the agents want to say it”denounced the national secretary of Unsa health Yann Le Baron. In the sights of the unions, the desire of the Minister responsible for the Budget Laurent Saint-Martin to increase the waiting period for civil servants in the event of sick leave to three days, compared to one today, and reduce compensation for sick leave. diseases at 90% compared to 100% currently in order to align the public sector with the private sector.
The French Hospital Federation (FHF) for its part denounces an increase in the envelope granted to hospitals “in trompe l’oeil”, to the extent that the executive plans an increase in retirement contributions for hospital staff, which it plans to impose on public hospitals. “Behind, we must deduct the increase in pension contributions. It’s more than a billion euros out of the total,” underlined on France Culture Arnaud Robinet, president of the FHF and mayor (Horizons) of Reims. Furthermore, by integrating the accumulated delay due to the underfinancing of inflation in 2023 and 2024, the real progression is only 0.2%, or around 200 million euros, he judged. . An envelope far from the 6% that the FHF considered necessary.
“It does not allow us to provide perspectives, it does not allow us to carry out recruitments which should be carried out to improve both the working conditions and the quality of care for users”, declared on franceinfo Gilles Gadier, federal secretary of the Public Service and Health Force Ouvrière Federation.
“The first affected will be the emergencies”regretted on France Culture Olivier Youinou, general secretary of the Sud santé AP-HP union. “And with emergencies, it will be the care of all these people who no longer have access to health care other than the hospital. City medicine is no longer able to care for the population”he lamented. “There will be all the effects which will be less visible on other downstream emergency services in particular, where the lack of beds, due to lack of staff, will also be felt”, he added.
