It’s a “exceptional” measure to try to save the hospital. The Regional Health Agency (ARS) announced via a press release the implementation of the following system: any health establishment in the Ile-de-France region (public, private, Ehpad) will be able to recruit nurses on fixed-term contracts at a salary of 3,085 euros gross with a bonus of 4000 euros for a CDD of 6 months and 7000 euros for a CDD of 9 months, for “a full-time activity will be added to the precariousness allowance and the compensation for leave that could not be taken.
Feeling of “injustice and discrepancy” for nurses already in place
An experimental device that “meets the expectations of a certain number of professionals who are not looking for a stable contract and until then are doing temporary work“, estimates at the microphone of France Bleu Paris Thierry Amouroux, spokesperson for the national union of nursing professionals (SNPI). And to add: “The idea of putting together a team of temporary workers who go within an establishment to various places while being paid by the establishment is a plus, it allows you to get to know the establishment in question better and why not a day, to apply for it.“
Corn “a certain number of permanent employees are arrested“says the SNPI spokesperson. “They are permanent agents; they have been working for years; they faced the two years of Covid and start with a salary of 1800 euros. They are paid significantly less than this auxiliary force. There is a feeling of injustice and mismatch for those who are in the institution and stay despite difficult working conditions.“
The risk is also according to Thierry Amouroux the uberization of the hospital : “You have to form a working group. People have to know each other, be used to working together. Calling on additional forces is better than nothing, but these are caregivers who arrive without knowing the pathology, the particular protocols of the service, it is a real difficulty in functioning. A team is not a sum of individuals.“
