1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:09,080
More for the personell, 

less for the directorate!

2
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:24,320
Announcement by employees of the 

university hospital Toulouse 25.01.2018

3
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:28,720
Hello,my name is Valerie Palao,

4
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,880
I am a nurse in the emergency room 
in
Purpan, Toulouse.

5
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,080
Today we strike, 

the general medical centre

6
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,240
including the traumatology and 
tropical medicine (the SMIT)

7
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,160
Also the psychiatric services 
and the 801,

8
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,000
who are the hospital’s drivers.

7
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,600
We demand new hires.

8
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,040
Being fewer in people 
we
are supposed to work more.

9
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,520
There is not less equipment 

but less personell.

10
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,320
Today we don’t demand 
money,we demand more Staff.

11
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,000
So we can provide good care.

12
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,240
We have to prioritize 

patient’s treatments.

13
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,400
The most urgent ones 
first
and others later,

14
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,480
although to us 
all treatments
are equal

15
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,600
which in my opinion is how it should be.

16
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,320
What did you do today?

17
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,080
We are demonstrating 
in front of the Hotel Dieu,

18
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,280
the central office of the 
Human Resources Department.

19
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,480
We want to be heard 
and are hoping
for an appointment

20
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,960
to advance with the negotiations.

21
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:43,800
During our last three meetings 
the directorate
hasn’t moved an inch.

22
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,160
We want real negotiations.

23
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,200
You need to know that a strike inside 
a 
university hospital is very difficult.

24
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,160
We have to stay with the patients.

25
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,880
Employees register as being on strike,

26
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,880
and ward management makes 
a 
skeleton staffing schedule.

27
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,800
This leads to bad situations since

28
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,400
the ward’s number of staff 
is the same 
on and off strike.

29
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,160
We are always a skeleton staff!

It’s complicated.

30
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,600
That’s why it’s difficult 
for employees to properly strike.

31
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,400
They often participate in such 
activities
in their free time.

32
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,320
Today two, three big 
departments 
are on strike,

33
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:31,920
the participation is good,
many people are attending

34
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,880
with the support of 
the unions SUD and CGT.

35
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,440
We came to the meeting 
of a 
hospital committee today

36
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,480
to bring awareness 
to the current situation.

37
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,880
The main issue is: a lack of personell.

38
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,360
We will face major problems, 
for example
in vacation scheduling.

39
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,400
There is so little staff that one persons 

absence can make a vacation impossible.

40
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,800
This has been going on for years,

so a lot of anger has built up.

42
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,840
Of course we notice this anger…

41
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,120
We provide space for this anger. 
It is voiced 
in the context of vacations,

42
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,680
but the working conditions are really bad. 

People are suffering.

43
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:25,320
The lack of personell is just one of many topics,

but it is a highly explosive one.

44
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,240
In many wards they are 
as motivated as we are.

45
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:40,600
Once again: start hiring!

One last time: start hiring!

46
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,440
