Politico’s Morning Health Care newsletter picked up EPSU’s call: Europe must address the #PublicServicesEmergency.
This matters - because workers’ demands are reaching decision-makers.
Now we need action: more staff, fair pay, better conditions and quality public healthcare!
✊Solidarity with @social.verdi.de Bavaria, taking action today to defend healthcare and the social state.
Their call is at the heart of the #PublicServicesEmergency: no cuts to health services, no pressure on workers, no austerity at the expense of patients and communities!
EPSU
🚨 And in Hannover too, @social.verdi.de members are protesting today at the Health Ministers’ Conference against dangerous cuts to health and care funding.
Across Germany and across Europe, public service workers are saying the same thing: fund services, protect jobs, respect collective bargaining!

And the @ec.europa.eu does not act. Rather wants to open Water Frame work Directive to make pollution easier
Drink water companies cleaning up dirt like #pfas of industry is good example of socialising the costs [we all pay] while profits are privatised

Hmm... what i miss is the disregard for social values...
Eg. Government Montenegro refuses to negotiate renewal of general collective agreement. Leaving approx. 100.000 with less protection. Unions organise a protest that the government forbids. Long way to go

The German government published a proposal for reform of care [insurance, financing...]
It will postpone application of collective agreement wages till 2030 for elderly care workers, overwhelmingly women in low paid jobs
