What do the doctors ask?
Medical unions demand their own Statutory Framework on the grounds that their profession has characteristics that distinguish them from the other professions in the health sector.
The main demand for doctors to strike this week is to create a Statutory Framework of their own, considering that their work has different characteristics from other health groups.
Among these features would be recognition of the "quality of work" based on "responsibility" towards the patient, according to José Luis Paulín, representative of the Medical Union of the Basque Country (SME). Together with the Spanish Confederation of Medical Union (CESM), the Medical Union of Andalusia (SMA), Metges de Catalunya (MC), the Association of Doctors and Senior Graduates of Madrid (AMYTS) and the Union of Independent Doctors of Galicia (SMA).
They argue that academic training between the ages of 10 and 12 far exceeds the other categories and emphasize that "training effort is greater", so they require a special professional classification, a new category A1 bat.
They require a maximum working day of 35 hours per week, in the morning hours of working days, and that everything that is exceeded be regarded as overtime, voluntary and remunerated.
They claim the system of total or partial earlyvoluntary retirement ere.
They also call for a ban onforced mobility .
On the other hand, they want to renegotiate specialized health training to know how it is being carried out and how "new generations of doctors are being protected".
They also want to recognize as a dangerous profession, because they work with biological and chemical agents, because they have exhausting working hours, because of the stress of critical decision-making and because of the huge amounts of burnout that affect the collective.
At the same time, they have called for protection against attacks , especially in Primary Care.
To agree on all this, they're asking for their own negotiating table .
In this regard, they believe that the Spanish State is movinginthe opposite direction to that of the other European countries because most of them have a specific standard for medical professionals and are working to recognise their professional rights.
