Emergency health staff take action

France

Staff working in accident and emergency services across the country took action on 2 July to call for urgent measures on jobs, beds and pay. The day of action, including a national demonstration in Paris, came the day before trade unions were due to meet the government to discuss pay across the public services. The CGT, FO and SUD unions organising emergency staff are calling for additional staff, more beds so that patients don't get stuck on trolleys and higher pay to recognise the arduousness of the work in accident and emergency services.
