Of the “unfair measures”a “real provocation”, the CGT Health and Social Action was moved, worrying a couple of “new flight from professionals”at a time when the hospital is struggling to recruit. After having been on the entrance line dealing with the Covid-19 epidemic and whereas the query of the dearth of attractiveness of hospitals has since arisen, in an acute method, the sign despatched might have been shocking.

In its quest for financial savings, the federal government is contemplating an extension of the ready interval from one to 3 days, i.e. the interval throughout which the agent receives no compensation, in addition to protection, after this era, of 90% of his remuneration, in comparison with 100% as we speak.
