Solidarity with the health workers (doctors and nurses) of Greece, on their strike on February 16
TUI PS Europe of the WFTU expresses its solidarity with the health
workers (doctors and nurses) of Greece who
are carrying out a nationwide pan-health strike on Tuesday February 16, against
the government's policy that seeks to hide its criminal responsibilities for
the management of the pandemic.
With their strike, health workers are
demanding the strengthening of the public health
system, with massive recruitment of staff, with
the conversion of all
contracts of workers into full-time and stable, with their integration into the
heavy and unwholesome occupations, with the creation of new Intensive
Care Units, a further
increase in state funding for the public health system.
Requisition of the private health sector
and mandatory inclusion of private doctors in the plan to deal with the
pandemic, with personal protective equipment for all, so that there will not
exist more victims in view of the third toughest wave of pandemic as everyone
admits.
WFTU's TUI PS Europe calls upon all the
organizations of public sector in Europe to express their support and
solidarity with health care workers (doctors and
nurses) in Greece.
Militant Greetings
