Mass resignations and threats of going all the way to the Ministry of Economy. The second day of protests by AOU employees, the Department, and management took place today in Sassari on Viale San Pietro. The first demonstration took place yesterday in Cagliari, but it failed to yield the desired results.
"We are deeply disappointed," commented Antonio Monni, general secretary of the CISL FP union for Sassari. He was referring to the regional president, Alessandra Todde, who was in Sassari yesterday and who did not meet with them, as well as to regional and local politics.
"Insensitivity," laments Augusto Ogana, secretary of the Sassari branch of the Uil Fp, who recalls how the unions, once again, were only met with the governor's cabinet support. The sector's problems remain: among them, the lack of progress on the DEP (Dependent Employment Plans), the failure to approve contractual certifications by the Board of Auditors, and hundreds of hours of unpaid overtime. But above all, the real issues are overcrowding in departments and staffing shortages, which impact the quality of healthcare and are detrimental to patients.
In an extremely critical situation for the social partners, one group is especially absent. "Where is politics?" asks Toto Terrosu, territorial secretary of the FP-CGIL union. Yesterday, aside from the Health Commission and its president, Carla Fundoni, there was little evidence of its presence. "But where is the university, given that you are a university company?" asks the mayor of Sassari and the Metropolitan City, Giuseppe Mascia. The mayor himself remarked, regarding the stalemate between the board of auditors and the company over contractual certifications: "I don't understand the buck-passing and why the president doesn't put a stop to it."
In this regard, trade union organizations are considering going directly to the Ministry of the Economy and Finance, which appoints the president of the Board, to protest. But the other option, often mooted, is mass resignation. At the end of the sit-in, the mayor and union delegations were received by the AOU management.
