Doctors start their second week of strike on Monday to demand their own Statutory Framework
As of this Monday, the medical and medical professionals of the Spanish State are going on a one-week strike, the second to demonstrate against the Framework Statute agreed between the Ministry of Health and various trade unions and to demand a text of its own that takes into account the specificities of the collective.
The strike days will be extended until Friday, as announced by the Strike Committee formed by the Spanish Confederation of Medical Unions (CESM), the Andalusian Medical Union (SMA), Metges de Catalunya (MC), the Madrid Association of Doctors and Higher Graduates (AMYTS), the Basque Medical Union (SME) and the Galicia Independent Medical Union (MEGA).
Since the February stoppages, there has been no "formal contact" between the Strike Committee and the Ministry of Health, as the Commission itself has indicated. On the part of the Ministry of Health, Minister Monica García has addressed the trade unions several times through statements to the media, which have tried to "channel the conflict" through an "agreement" with the Medical Profession Forum on 4 March.
The Strike Commission had announced that if the Ministry did not meet with them, they would continue the strike. Monica Garcia argues that the agreement reached with the Medical Profession Forum "has the knowledge and participation" of these organizations and "allowed dialogue to be maintained, strikes to be avoided and conflicts to be de-escalated" because it deepened the main demands that cause medical unrest.
However, the Strike Committee has stated in its reply that this agreement 'does not exist', it is' a proposal 'and, in any event, even if it had been signed, it would have' no legal validity ', since the Medical Profession Forum has no competence in the field of labour negotiation and this agreement can only be concluded with the Commission.
In this way, the medical unions will resume their mobilizations to demand a text of their own recognizing the "special conditions of training, activity and responsibility" of medical and medical professionals. The Ministry of Health rejects this possibility because it would "break cohesion and create inequalities" in the National Health System.
On 26 January, the Ministry ofHealth and the trade unions SATSE-FSES, FSS-CCOO, UGT and CSIF announced that they had reached an agreement to approve the text of the preliminary draft Framework Statute Act. It must now pass through the Council of Ministers and proceed with parliamentary proceedings.
