The
Health
union
postponed the strike scheduled for this Thursday in the context of the conflict with private medicine companies to obtain a 45% salary increase
for 320,000 employees.
The measure was known after the extension for five business days of the mandatory conciliation that expired this Wednesday at midnight.
The official decision was resolved by the national director of Labor Relations and Regulations, Gabriela Marcello, who urged trade unionists and businessmen to maintain "the best predisposition and openness to continue negotiations and contribute to social peace and thus improve the context. of labor relations ".
The organization led by Carlos West Ocampo and the co-owner of the CGT, Héctor Daer, had called for a 24-hour national strike starting at 0 on Thursday in all private clinics, sanatoriums, laboratories, nursing homes and community hospitals.
But he finally
decided to postpone it, although he rejected the decision of the labor portfolio to extend the conciliation
until Tuesday, considering it an "unfair and illegitimate" decision.
"
We are going to carry out the National Strike of activities for 24 hours for next Wednesday, August 4, and we are going to accompany it with a Great National March
through the streets of the city of Buenos Aires, so that everyone can understand the justice of our claim. and accompany all health workers in their struggle, "the Health union confirmed in a statement.
The salary negotiation reopened the fight of private medicine to update the tariffs
.
After partially freezing the sector's rates, the Government negotiates an adjustment of between 4 and 9% every two months with prepaid rates, which would allow clinics and sanatoriums to transfer these increases to their rates and unlock the parity rates. .
But
the discussion got bogged down with PAMI
.
"The joint companies are blocked not by prepaid medicine, that there is a promise from the government to authorize increases in August, September and October, but by PAMI," they pointed out from the Argentine Federation of Health Providers.
The providers of the Social and Prepaid Works assure that
the agency offered them between a 15 and 16% increase
, far from the 45% wage claim.
