Union Verdi Urges Clinic Staff to Join One-Day Protest Strike
Clinic Workers Demand a Strike as a Warning, according to Green - Musical Director Verdi Advocates for a Work Stoppage
Hey there! Let's talk about what's going down at the Frankfurt (Oder) Clinic. The union, Verdi, has kicked things up a notch by calling on their members to join a one-day warning strike! They're planning to picket from the crack of dawn to the witching hour, as Verdi announced. And if you're in the area, keep an eye out for the morning rally taking place near the hospital's parking garage.
What's Verdi pushing for, you ask? Well, they're after a substantial 10% pay boost for the roughly 1,250 non-medical staffers and 160 trainees. Additionally, they're keen to see a significant monthly uptick in training compensation, around 200 euros per month, and extra vacation days for the hardworking employees. Their ultimate goal? Paring things up with the public sector's collective bargaining agreement.
So, what's the current status of these wage negotiations? Well, according to the union, they've been at loggerheads during the first two rounds of talks. The next round of negotiations is scheduled for May 20, 2025. For the latest updates and details on these negotiations, be sure to check local news sources or the Verdi union's official website.
