SANITAS begins general strike in the public health system

The SANITAS Federation initiated an indefinite general strike in the public health sector, demanding better working conditions and fair pay. Over 400 hospitals are participating, ensuring essential services continue. The union seeks a fair pay law and opposes changes to allowances for hazardous work. They also call for lifting the hiring freeze to address staff shortages. The strike will persist until the government engages in negotiations for a new salary law. Reports of pressure on strikers have emerged, with management allegedly seeking names of participants.
