The Northern section of the State Workers Association (ATE) denounced acts of institutional violence developed in the Cinco Saltos Hospital. «They are exercised from some headquarters and are directed by the director who supports each fact, putting the mental health of workers at risk and creating an unhealthy environment in which it is impossible to remain,” they declared.
Dora Fernandezgeneral secretary of the Northern section of ATE remarked that, nnever got any response from management. As they explained, the director, “in complicity with the headquarters, allows the neglect, mistreatment and persecution, with arbitrary changes of sectors and preventing the corresponding overtime: a quota of 80 overtime for each staff stipulated by the Ministry of Public Health ». From the union they have made the complaints but they did not obtain answers.
“For a long time we have been denouncing and asking for the annulment of the charges that were granted by hand, without competition or merit, as well as without the existence of the Local Health Council,” said the leader.
In relation to overtime, Fernández commented on the function that is given to them in the hospital. “These hours, are used to punish or rewarddepending on the affinity or obedience to unfounded whims, which do not have any type of foundation.
From the union they consider inadmissible “the violence exerted by the head of the nursing unit together with the rest of the heads under her charge”, and They do not rule out measures against “these outrages”.
Regarding the measures they plan to carry out, they are analyzing more complaints in the future, “demanding an audit on the handling of overtime delivered mostly to superiors. If someone charges what they do not work, it is a crime, “they explained. In addition, they ensured that They will make the pertinent complaints to the Minister of Health, Fabián Zgaib“since we cannot continue to allow so much abuse,” they condemned.
«It is playing with the pocket of the workers who, due to this situation, are left without a fundamental part of their salary, what are overtime like, “argued Fernández.
