The precise date of the strike might be decided later, whereas there might be discussions between the unions, whether or not the TAEP might be included in it.
The federal government docs go on a 48-hour strike on the finish of November, after they rejected the proposal of the State Well being Companies Group (OKYpY), in relation to the monetary incentives of 2023.

As Mr. Koumas reported to KYPE, in the course of the assembly “there have been intense disagreements” concerning the quantity of monetary incentives that might be given to the docs, since as he defined, OKYpY, after a research, determined that this quantity will quantity to 2.5 million euros, whereas the guilds ask for 4.5 million euros as a monetary incentive, for the providers they provided within the 12 months 2023, throughout the framework of the Nationwide Well being Service.
It’s famous that final July an unbiased Auditing Home undertook the calculation of the monetary incentives of docs for 2023, after a joint assembly of OKYpY and docs with the Minister of Well being.
Chatting with the KYPE, the President of PASYKI spoke of a “disparaging” proposal by OKYpY to docs and referred to as on the Minister of Well being to take a place.
“The OKYpY proposal for 2023 was rejected. Our place is that we don’t talk about additional both for 2024, or 2025 or 2027 – as they wish to outline it – if the settlement for 2023 will not be reached. We declare the docs' earnings for 2023” , emphasised Mr. Koumas.
As he added “the settlement can’t be given a partial interpretation and attribution to the docs”, so as to add that “the proposal submitted by OKYPY is discrediting to the docs and the query arises, why did we have now to attend for them to provide us the information simply 16 hours earlier than the assembly.”
In line with Sotiris Koumas, the research was prepared since September “however for some purpose they didn’t have the honesty and braveness to tell us”. He stated that “at present it lastly occurred”, to notice that “the quantity they think about to be ours we reject, since it’s disparaging and insulting to docs”.
He referred to the 2 slides that OKYpY despatched to docs simply yesterday. “All of the speak they wished to have is about two slides. An quantity is recorded for 2024. I open a parenthesis. The settlement they invoke doesn’t give them the fitting to debate the granting of compensation for 2 years on the similar time. It's only for every year,” he stated.
He defined, additional, that if that is taken “purely accounting and mathematically, it signifies that the revenues of the Company have decreased considerably”, recalling that “the Company final week, by way of the laws of the supplementary funds of the OAU, has been authorized to obtain roughly 30 35 million from the OAU (the primary time it collects this quantity), as compensation for 2024 for the providers it affords.”
“So,” he famous, “after amassing, one would fairly anticipate the quantity to extend. That is – not a bell – however bells and eventually everybody has to take their tasks, tasks for the sustainability of public hospitals.”
As well as, he stated that “docs are on the entrance line night time and day” and that “some others must do their job, some others must examine them, some others must take their political tasks.”
Addressing the Minister of Well being, he stated that “he’s the political chief, he appoints the Board of Administrators of OKYPY and he was personally concerned within the discussions”, asking him to be told in regards to the content material of the general research, as submitted by the unbiased audit home and “to take a place ” and ahead it to them.
