Valladolid, (EFE).- A “very hot” spring and summer in Health announced this Thursday by the CCOO, UGT and CSIF unions, with a “resurgence” in the protests if progress is not made through the negotiation with everyone at the sectoral table.
The three unions, which represent more than half of the health workers of Castilla y León, have gathered this Thursday before the Ministry to demand that the improvements that the service requires in the Community be negotiated with all and at a sectoral table .
Slightly more than five hundred representatives of the three unions, coming from all the provinces of the Community, have protested before the Ministry of Health in Valladolid, and have paralyzed traffic in one direction of Paseo Zorrilla in the city, to demand that negotiation with everyone at the sectoral table, after the recent agreement signed with CESM only for doctors.
Avoid the recrudescence, on the roof of Health
To avoid this “hot spring, the “ball is in your court”, in that of the Ministry, has maintained the regional secretary of Health of UGT Servicios Públicos Castilla y León, Miguel Holguín.
The trade unionist has defended that health is something for everyone and is supported by all Sacyl workers, and has anticipated this “recrudescence” in the sector if progress is not made on that path of negotiating at the sectoral Roundtable.
After them will come the health platforms and the rest of society, has warned the head of Health of UGT in the Community.
Impassive before the SOS of Health
The president of the autonomous health sector of CSIF Castilla y León, Enrique Vega, recalled that the SOS of regional health comes from a long time ago.
In his opinion, the Ministry “far” from coming to his “help” has been “impassive” in the face of the lack of personnel that is collapsing Primary Care, saturating emergencies, with eternal waiting lists.
You cannot negotiate only for a few
The negotiation “is done outside the Table and with obscure agreements that are not fulfilled”, has warned the general secretary of the Federation of Health and Social and Social Sectors of CCOO in the Community, Ana Rosa Arribas.
“You cannot negotiate for a few”, so in addition to being “overwhelmed” by these working conditions “we are pissed off” because “they pit us against each other”, he concluded.
The three unions have asked that working groups be created to negotiate the improvements required by health or how this return to the 35-hour weekly workday announced for June 1 will be carried out, a measure signed in 2019, “Now announced without meeting the table and set by the central government,” reflected Arribas.
“Historical agreements are from another era, if you want consensus it has to be with all the organizations,” Holguín added, regarding the agreement signed only with CESM and in response to the calls for consensus from the Ministry.
The Ministry is committed to fluid, open and permanent dialogue
The three unions have held a brief meeting with the Deputy Minister of Health Care, Jesús García-Cruces, and the new manager of Sacyl, Violeta Martínez Pindado.
García-Cruces has insisted, in statements to the media after the meeting, on the Ministry’s intention to maintain a “fluid, open and permanent” dialogue with the unions, since the main health asset is its professionals.
“We believe in consensus”, he has defended, and has considered that the sectoral table is a good vehicle for debate, which is “compatible” with reaching agreements when proposals are presented by a union, in reference to CESM, for ” squeeze to the maximum” reaching agreements.
The three unions have planted a battery of economic, labor and human resources and health management measures for debate at the sectoral table, with the request that this table be convened immediately to make the regulatory changes that allow the implementation of the 35 hours from June 1.EFE
