The Federation of Health, a trade union organization affiliated with the national trade union block, has announced that it is considering the government action, if it will not return to the decision to limit the increase for harmful conditions. The trade unionists claim that, in the sanitary field, the most affected will be the TESA personnel.
In a press release, the Federation of Health wants to contradict the Minister of Health, Alexandru Rogobete, who stated that the medical staff is not affected by limiting the increase for harmful conditions as they receive other bonuses, for particularly dangerous conditions.
Instead, trade unionists claim that those who are part of the TESA staff in the health system will be affected.
“Yes, Tesa and support staff working in the hospital, works for the operation of hospitals, remedies the damage to the multitude of installations and medical equipment, are also those who make purchases, sign payment states, assume the correctness of the documents prepared, work in the same health units together with the medical staff,”
The federation argues that salaries for this category start from 2,800 lei and reach almost 6,000 for those with maximum graduation and seniority.
For this reason, the Federation of Health announces that it will initiate public protests, and a legal action is taken into account.
“Given that within the TESA staff there are lawyers, economists, who know how to apply the law, we assure you of all the availability to act in justice and to ask us for the rights of our colleagues. You have given an ordinance on the knees without thinking!”, The source said.

The Minister of Health Alexandru Rogobete announced that he will meet on Wednesday with the representatives of the unions in the sanitary, but the discussion will be on a wider range of topics, not just about cutting the bonuses.
“The meeting will focus on the reforms we want in health in the next period and we will have a discussion and related to the impact on revenues,” Rogobete told Digi24.
