The planned strikes are expected to impact various services.
The strike involving healthcare workers aims to demand urgent measures to enhance career value, including the reinstatement of points for salary progression.
The demands also include hiring permanent staff to end the “abusive use of additional shifts and 16-hour consecutive workdays.”
The union is also calling for a risk subsidy for auxiliary health and nursing technicians and demands the elimination of the hours bank and the group hours bank by tacit adherence, which they claim disrupts workers’ lives and benefits only the employers.
The strike encompasses all healthcare workers, including hospitals, health centers, public institutes, and private entities with contracts with the NHS.
The strike, declared by the State Workers’ Union (STMO), is set from 00:00 to 24:00, intending to demand an interim salary update based on the inflation rate until the third quarter of 2025, among other measures.
Workers seek the creation of a meal card with a daily value of 12 euros, tax-exempt, and insist on a specific career for auxiliary education technicians.
