SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 19 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The indefinite strike of the temporary specialist doctors of the Canary Islands will start on April 28 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and on April 29 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. while the rest of the schedules remain to be determined depending on the development.
This has been advanced this Tuesday in a statement by the Confluence Table after the “unsuccessful” meeting held with the Minister of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands, Blas Trujillo, on April 13, once the sectoral table had already been held with the unions.
The strike, called by the Canary Islands Medical Employees Union, affects hospital and primary care doctors and specialists with any type of contract and any organic link with the SCS (permanent and temporary, statutory and labor) that provides its services in the different departments and all public health centers in the Canary Islands.
The objective of this strike, they affirm, is for the Confluence Table to become part of any negotiating or work table or group that is going to deal with the details of the application of Law 20/2021, of December 28, on measures urgent against temporary employment in public health in the Canary Islands, in those cases in which this application affects the categories of doctors and specialists in the area of the Canary Health Service.
Likewise, the Confluence Table requests that all positions of doctors and specialist specialists in the area that fit to the criteria established by Law 20/2021, of December 28, in its sixth and eighth additional provisions, to be summoned in the corresponding selective stabilization processes by merit contest or opposition contest.
Along these lines, it is requested that these data be communicated to the SEMCA union before May 3, 2022, and that these figures be contrasted and compared with the figures provided by the union before May 7, 2022.
The fulfillment of these requests, among others, is fundamental and necessary to achieve the resolution of the conflict and call off the strike, they indicate.
This is the second time that doctors and physicians in temporary abuse have gone on strike, after calling off the first as an “act of good faith and a vote of confidence” towards the administration, but the talks “have fallen on deaf ears” since none of the agreements reached that day have been carried out.
