The seventh meeting between Health and CSIF, CC. yes and the UGT ended this Friday without an agreement, so the strike called for March 31 has to be kept all over the world. Central criticizes Health for no longer being provided with a financial report that guarantees the payment of the professional course that, according to what has been said, depends on the Government of Aragon. Moreover, this demonstration of the Sun must be held in the middle of Caesaraugusta. They will meet again next Monday to discuss minimum duties for striking that day.
The group ended last week with a reconciliation of positions, although today the understanding of the requests that have not been raised by the central regarding the professional course has not been completed by the absence of a report on financial issues that legal services must prepare for the regional executives. Also requested, among other issues, a 35-hour working day and the opening of health centers from 8:00 am to 8:00 am
The colleges were reminded that they were transferred days ago, since they need specific permission from the treasury and to arrange a legal loophole, and they have been called by Health to a meeting this Friday to move forward in the negotiations. The Minister of Health, Sira Repollés, has on various occasions expressed confidence in the agreement to avoid a blow. Last Thursday, he confirmed his Department’s work on the necessary regulatory changes, so that the 3rd level of the professional career can be paid, a reason he considered “fair” and “legitimate”. A few days later he announced that a deal could be made.
Jessica Fessenden, CSIF Personal Health spokesperson, acknowledged at the end of the meeting that Health “plays with the times”: “For two weeks we have been waiting for a legal report from the Department of the Presidency of the Government of Aragon on the professional career, which is one of the red lines of the agreement to push to the end”. In this sense, he mentioned that “since 2010, many groups have been waiting for the payment of the supplement that they recognized”. In this sense, Elena Lahoz, Secretary of Health UGT Aragon, added “professional management and service personnel and professional training has grown for 13 years. Public Health officials are second class.” For his part, Delia Lizana, general secretary of the Federation of Health and Socio-health Sectors CC. yes Aragonese showed his displeasure, because he was driven to the assembly “when he had no proposal.” “I don’t understand the best advice,” he said. On the relationship of the right to address economic issues, he added: “It seems that it has gone up, but there is no political will for agreement, and leaving the Ministry sold.” “Today in the general table of the public service, additional funds have been released, of which 2.7 million correspond to health. The money can be dedicated to a professional career and there are no obstacles,” he pointed out.
Health has called the three unions to a meeting next Monday to discuss minimum wage strikes before March 31. The day before, union elections will take place, to which approximately 26,000 workers of the Aragonese health service are called. Voting will take place at different points in the community. Tables will be installed in all hospitals (from 7:00 am to 11:00 am) and in different health centers (from 8:00 am to 6:00 am).
The three unions have also called for a demonstration for this Sunday that will leave the Pignatelli building before 12:00 and arrive at the Auditorium, given the varied situation in the health system. Buses will be booked from different places in the Community, such as Teruel, Calatayud, Alcañiz, Osca and Barbastro.
