not convening unions not seconded the initiative
MADRID, 28 (EUROPA PRESS)
Unions convening of the general strike of morning Thursday, Comisiones Obreras (CC.)(OO) and UGT, have encouraged the health professionals of all Spain to support the strike in protest before the labour reform submitted by the Government, even though they wanted to send a “reassuring message” to the public because “the population will be served”.
As he has assured the Secretary general of the Federation of health and social sectors (FSS-CC.)(OO), Antonio Cabrera, for tomorrow “broad participation” is expected in this sector in those communities in which trade unions have reached an agreement, such as Basque or Navarre.
In addition, expected to be more respected in the morning shift, because “is when there is less minimum services established”, has been added.
However, Cabrera explains that you despite the support in this sector, and percentage of participation “will not be very high” that “health is a basic service to the citizens and the established minimum services correspond mostly to any holiday template”.
Secretary of the sector of health and social services and unit of UGT, Pilar Navarro, who told Europa Press has recognized that it is a sector “that always has its complications” and that “always premium service to the citizen” has pronounced on the same terms.
“the population must be quiet, because emergency services do work to 100 percent like any other day and there will be problems, will be served,” according to Navarro.
However, stresses the importance that since this sector is also ponder the strike as “there are cuts in recruitment and lack of renewal” that are causing an increase in unemployment in health in the future, can ultimately affect the quality of benefits.
CSI-F criticized the POLITICIZATION of the call
Both unions, however, will not have the backing of the rest of trade unions operating in the health sector, since, as he has assured the President of the national sector and health of the Central Trade Union independent of civil servants (CSI-F), Fernando Molina, the call “has very marked political dyes”.
The Union prefers to wait for the Government to present its proposal for General State budgets for this year, and they warn that “if it is affected directly the public employee”, they will come “in his defense immediately”, according to Molina, “announcing the strike or what there is to announce”.
For its part, the general Secretary of the National Confederation of doctors unions (CESM), Patricio Martinez, explained to Europa Press that the labor reform that protest CC.OO and UGT should be dealt with in the Parliament “and not through a strike” which, in his view, “will be a useless suffering will not change anything”.
“doctors will be in their work posts”

For its part, the Union of nursing Satse said that, although it is not convener of the strike, is against labor reform by “unfair”, that, instead of generating employment, “breaks the rules of the game in favor of employers, which impose unilateral conditions on workers, and they will find most unprotected”.
Thus, warn that they will continue to mobilize “as it has been doing for months” to avoid cuts and the progressive deterioration of the care provided to the user of the national system of health (SNS).
The Union of technical nursing (SAE) has also shown its rejection of this labor reform which considered “unnecessary”, but also has been against a strike that they consider “inopportune” given the economic situation of the country.
“convening unions not have told anyone, although largely to blame for the current situation, promoting trade union disunity and not reacting in a timely”, have been specified.
