Next Wednesday, 15 February, the trade unions ELA, LAB, CCOO, UGT and Steilas have called for a strike for the entire public sector under the Government of Navarra. They call for real negotiations to improve working conditions and public service in practice. All trade unions believe that "end the privatization policy" and that the Foral Government must "exercise its powers of self-government".
Ten days later, specifically on 25 February, they will denounce the decline of the health system and will focus on Osakidetza at the call of ELA, SATSE, LAB, SME, CCOO and UGT in Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa. At the press conference, they emphasized that job insecurity remains one of the most serious problems: "temporality greater than 50%; loss of purchasing power greater than 20% in a decade; systematic work overload; shortage of personnel; lack of representation and vacancy coverage; or reductions in working conditions".

He took advantage of the concertation to thank the surveillance received in this health center, and on Twitter the government of the community of Madrid ruled by Isabel Díaz Ayuso was not silent. He recalled that that particular hospital is public-private management and clearly stated that these formulas work above all criticism.
