On the occasion of the March 7 strike, civil servants protested against the general deterioration of working conditions and overly strict savings.
United in adversity. It is a bit the watchword of the day of strike of the civil service, this March 7. Its three sectors – State, territories, hospital – gathered in the street around a common slogan: “I am wealth”. All employees complain of a deterioration in working conditions. Health is no exception.
Nurses are at the forefront of this protest movement. They sign their 3and mobilization in four months. The object of their grumbling: the multiple savings plans made at the hospital. In question, the exhaustion of a large part of the profession, but also the absence of recognition and valuation of the acts exercised in liberal.
“Health is not an expense, it is an investment, hammers in 20 minutes Mireille Stivala, general secretary of the CGT in charge of the health and social action federation. Social Security and the social protection system as a whole have enabled France to get through the crisis that began in 2008 better.” Like the CGT, the FO union is calling for an end to the abolition of beds and an active defense of the security system. social.
Excessive savings
At the hospital, the merger of hospitals into Territorial Hospital Groups (GHT) always makes people cringe. FO denounces a “destructuring” of care which threatens the quality of acts. If we add the savings plan of 3.5 billion euros, there is something to understand the anger of caregivers. In Normandy, the unions of the University Hospitals of Rouen (Seine-Maritime) and Caen (Calvados) have also called to strike. They received the support of the mayor of Dieppe and regional councillor, Sébastien Jumel.

Degraded working conditions, insufficient wages, too frequent fixed-term contracts… There are many complaints. The balance sheet is not much brighter in the Social Security services. It deplores the steady decline in staff, the closure of local centers with the consequence of increasing reimbursement times.
