Protests by health professionals continue in Argentina

Buenos Aires, Sep 3 (Prensa Latina) The Federation of Health Professionals of the Argentine Republic (Fesprosa) confirmed today that it will continue its strikes in several regions of the country in defense of the sector and decent wages.

According to the organization, on Thursday at 1:30 p.m. local time, groups that bring together nursing staff will hold a rally and open radio in front of the Superior Court of Justice in this capital, to demand that two rulings be ratified that equate their salaries with those of other professionals in the area.

In Santa Fe, the Union of University Professionals of Health called for a day of protest for that same day in front of the Legislature, in repudiation of a pension reform that is being carried out in that province.

For their part, the Self-Convened Health Workers of Tucumán will carry out a mobilization tomorrow at 19:00 in the Plaza Independencia to demand salary increases.

In San Luis, the Association of Professionals and Technicians will gather at 11:00 at the doors of the Legislature, in defense of public health and full-time contracts.

In addition, in Santa Cruz, San Juan and Chubut, the salaried workers asked to reopen negotiations to achieve increases in their salaries.

The growing number of claims is due to the fact that the provincial governments again set an increase below inflation and very far from reality, deepening the deterioration of living conditions, said the president of Fesprosa, María Fernanda Boriotti.

In this sense, she recalled that the Government proposed an increase of only two percent in September and one in October for the national public administration.

On the 9th of this month, the Executive Council of Fesprosa will meet to analyze the situation of the sector and discuss union measures to support the struggles that are taking place in each of the provinces. ef/gas
