The Nursind union launches a new alarm on the state of the health personnel at the Polyclinic of Messina, denouncing Critical working conditions and a real “escape” of nurses and operators. “Other than Eldorado,” says Nursind, denying the declarations of the hospital who speak of attention to the well -being of workers.
According to the union, numerous strategic operating units – including resuscitation, first aid, neurosurgery and intensive care – pay in emergency conditions due to the serious lack of staff. The budget is heavy: at least 60 nurses and 60 socio -health workers would be missing, in the face of retirement, mobility not replaced and deaths. A situation that pushes the staff to forced extraordinary work and “service orders”, a practice that, denounces the Nursind, obliges to cover multiple departments without contractual coverage.
“The new hires are often diverted to newly established departments, leaving those already in trouble discovered,” Ivan Alonge and Massimo Latella explain, representatives of the union. Meanwhile, discontent grows: workers also complain about the absence of afternoon meal vouchers, a bank of the hours never activated, and a supplementary contract stopped for 17 years. To worsen the picture, the failure to apply the economic progressions and the long -standing question of parking, cause of further stress before even starting the turn.
Nursind has announced the sending of an anonymous questionnaire to members to monitor the level of well -being and collect reports on the alleged harassment. The concrete risk, warns the union, is a new strike of the health personnel.
