The emergency staff of the Rouen University Hospital began Monday, September 27, an indefinite strike to protest against the deterioration of their working conditions and the lack of human and material resources, we learned from concordant sources. The management of the establishment evaluated the rate of strikers at “24%, according to civil service rules”.
“We have 38 strikers listed out of 158 agents in the service. It is quite important. There is a mobilization of the agents which is not negligible and to be taken seriously”, told AFP Bertrand Cazelles, deputy director general of the CHU, recalling that the white plan was triggered two weeks ago in the establishment. The notice was filed by CFDT, CGT, Sud and FO.
According to Frédéric Louis, secretary of the CFDT section of the Rouen University Hospital, About fifty beds are closed throughout the CHU, due to recruitment difficulties, and about forty nursing positions are not filled. “All this leads to disorganization in the emergency room. The colleagues in the emergency room are overwhelmed by patients who are stagnant due to a lack of beds.”, he explained.
“We are in a particularly critical situation”, admitted Bertrand Cazelles, evoking “a very great tension on emergencies”. “We have patients who stay too long in the emergency room for lack of downstream beds available. All levers are mobilized to try to recruit. To cope, we widely use the system of increased overtime. This has enabled us to close less. more beds than expected in the first simulations “, he added.
