Unions’ health offensive launches on petition to parliament

Austria

The four trade unions in public and private healthcare – younion, GÖD, vida and GPA – have joined forces with the ÖGB trade union confederation, the Chamber of Labour and Chamber of doctors in a “health offensive” to push for increased funding for health and long-term care. On 24 February the organisations joined in demonstrations across the country under the banner “It’s five past midnight” to promote a national petition calling for action on pay and conditions, staffing and training.
