Salary increases of 2 euros per day for Nurses and Health Professions: it is aimed in Sicily. Appeal by FSI-USAE. – AssoCareNews.it

COVID-19. Government recognizes 2 euros per day. Also in Caltagirone (Asp Catania) Cni Fsi-Usae calls nurses and health professions to revolt. Tomorrow at the Acireale hospital.

Today 03.02.2021 the petition stopped at the ASP of Catania in the “Gravina” hospital in Caltagirone. The collection of signatures addressed to nurses and the 21 health professions who were asked to add their signature to the hundreds of signatures already collected by the promoter of the petition on Cui – FSI-Usae, National Nursing Coordination, aimed at asking the government for a legitimate salary of 2,000 euros – “we strongly contest the budget law which has provided a figure that represents a real alms, only 60 euros per month for nurses and just over 30 euros for the other 21 health professions and health care partner.

In this sense, the Government has certainly forgotten that all health workers felt cheated by these gifts “- explains the National Coordinator of the Cni National Nursing Coordination and Regional Secretary of the Fsi-Usae union. Calogero Rabbit and local representatives Maurizio Cirignotta e Salvatore Bellia.

In the new budget law, the government has provided for a sum of only 335 million for the nursing allowance which will have to be divided by 280 thousand nurses. The annual gross increase in paychecks for each nurse spread over 13 months is 60 euros net per month, just 2 euros per day, and for the other 21 health professions only 1 euro. These figures are certainly insufficient to give professional dignity to these professionals who, in the face of fatigue and exposure to Covid-19, found themselves a poor economic consideration “.

“The Cni-Fsi is clamoring and calling the nurses and all the health and social health professions to protest – continues Coniglio – salaries are now inadequate and worn out by the increase in the cost of living, we ask that the contractual funds be useful to to allow a revaluation of the nightly, festive and semi-demonstrative allowances and of the ready availability now stopped for 20 years, it is also necessary to give the opportunity to make a career through the reclassification of personnel “.

“The doctors – continues the Secretary Fsi-Usae – have obtained in the budget law triple the indemnity of the Nurses and the health professions, a difference that we consider considerable. The goal of nurses and health professions today is to have a net salary of at least 2,000 euros “.

“The National Coordination of Fsi-Usae Nurses also denounces the drama – underlines Coniglio – of the more than 72,000 health workers infected since the beginning of the pandemic, 52 the toll of Nurses who died from coronavirus from March to today, a category left alone, and forced to fight without adequate weapons in the hospitals that today they risk paralysis due to a lack of staff and beds ”.

“In hospitals, nurses have been fighting to save lives since last March and with the sacrifice of their lives they fight the coronavirus pandemic, engaged in first aid, in the covid-19 wards they have always been faithful to their mandate but today they are still humiliated by the government. We don’t want to be forgotten. Today we are here to highlight the tenacious fight against the virus, which has not harmed the nurses who have fought for their own and just cause ”.

“We ask the political forces that sit in Parliament to work all together to allow nurses and health professions to have a remuneration proportionate to responsibility, a fair salary in line with the European average must be at least 2,000 euros” – conclude the FSI representatives -USAE Calogero Coniglio, Maurizio Cirignotta and Salvatore Bellia.

The signature collection tomorrow from 9.30 will stop at Acireale hospital.
