Tuesday, December 28, the government announced a premium of one hundred euros per month for nurses in intensive care. A measure deemed insufficient for Thierry Amouroux, spokesperson for the national union of nurses.
This measure, anticipated by the nursing staff, is not sufficient for Thierry Amouroux. Indeed, the latter believes that nurses should be paid for their responsibilities and skills. If the Prime Minister, Jean Castex assured that this bonus would be sustainable, Thierry Amouroux is ironic about it: “It is well known that politicians always keep their promises“.
The spokesperson for the national union of nurses considers that their profession is underpaid in France compared to the European average. “Our salaries are 10% lower than the average European salary ”. He adds that many young French nurses are leaving France for Switzerland or Luxembourg, where salaries have doubled “. Thierry Amouroux specifies that 60,000 positions are vacant because of the salary, working conditions, and workloads.
