Another day of action, with a demonstration by temporary healthcare workers. The Unione Sindacale di Base - Pubblico Impiego Sanità (Basic Union - Public Employment Healthcare) has called for Tuesday, November 17, starting at 9:30 a.m., in front of the Regional Council building on Via Roma in Cagliari. The protest is centered on the demand for an urgent amendment to the regional law on the stabilization of healthcare workers (OSS), so that the relevant national legislation can be incorporated into the regional text, "guaranteeing equal access to stabilization programs also for healthcare workers (OSS) who have worked under temporary contracts with Sardinia's public healthcare agencies."
USB PI Sanità calls for the elimination of "any discrimination related to the type of recruitment contract and for recognition of the service actually provided and the professional experience gained within the regional health service. These are workers who have ensured the maintenance of departments and continuity of care during the most critical times, but who today risk being excluded solely because of the type of contract used to recruit them ."
"The Regional Council has a political and moral duty to correct this flaw before the final approval of the bill, incorporating national legislation and ensuring fair treatment for all workers who meet the required requirements," observes Gianfranco Angioni , regional representative for USB Pi Sanità. "We have said it before, and we reiterate it with even greater determination: we will not rest until the regional bill is amended to incorporate the provisions of national legislation. We are talking about professionals who have worked side by side with the permanent staff of Sardinia's local health authorities, the university hospitals of Cagliari and Sassari, and the Arnas Brotzu, providing essential care to citizens. It is unacceptable that those who meet the requirements in the field should be discriminated against simply because they were hired through a temporary agency."
