The nurses in Israel are threatening to strike from Tuesday

The nurses in Israel are threatening to strike from Tuesday, meaning a general nurses' strike in an emergency format throughout the health system in Israel. The nurses, who are part of the Nurses' Association, are aware of heavy loads in the wards, the lack of adequate standards and the reduction of their salaries. The union of responsibility declared a labor dispute in May, and in June it also translated into organizational measures such as non-participation of some of the nurses and nurses in the accreditation tests in hospitals and instead being with patients.
The Histadrut said that "the brothers and sisters in Israel are not forced laborers, and will no longer lend a hand to working outside of the standards and license, to tasks, procedures and controls without additional manpower and without an additional salary." The nurses continued to give 200% of themselves in order to provide proper and safe treatment for Israeli citizens. This did not prevent the Ministry of Health from continuing to impose hundreds of procedures, tasks and controls on the nurses' shoulders without the addition of manpower and without additional standards. "
"The Ministry of Health and Finance apparently forgot that the era of slavery has passed from the world, and brazenly reduced the salaries of the brothers and sisters, so we decided enough for the burdens and for the patients."
This evening, a meeting is expected between the representatives of the nurses, Health Ministry director general Moshe Bar Siman Tov and Finance Ministry director of wages Kobi Bar Natan, after which the fate of the meeting will become known.
The Health Ministry said in response: "The Ministry of Health recognizes and appreciates the work of the nurses, who are at the heart of the health and public service system, working together with all the relevant authorities to ease the load and find solutions to reduce the load and burnout. We all have a commitment and responsibility for patients and to carry out all the tasks and requirements required for medical treatment at the required standard.
Histadrut chairman Arnon Bar-David announced yesterday that he was backing up the nurses' strike and sent a letter to Bar-Siman Tov, the director-general of the ministry, warning that "if the ministry does not retract its threats to the brothers and sisters, the Histadrut will act with full force to change the evil of the Gazit, Of the health system in the coming days.
