DEU Hospital management decided not to pay overtime wages for specially trained health workers working in the emergency room, operating room and intensive care units.
Chairman of the Health Workers’ Union of Turkey Izmir Branch Sarıçoban Adam, in his statement to the spokesman reacted to the university hospital management. “While healthcare workers are fighting the epidemic all over the world and in our country, Dokço Eylül University Hospital has usurped the gained rights of healthcare workers,” said Sarıçoban.
Noting that the hospital management did not comply with the signed protocol, Sarıçoban said:
* Dokuz Eylul University Hospital Chief Physician has not complied with the article of the protocol that determines the wages of the workers for the last month and continued to insist that these wages are not paid to the member workers.
* The care of the caregivers working with a salary of 2,400 lira is not valued. Healthcare workers working in the emergency room, operating room, intensive care units and performing difficult tasks in combat with the pandemic are in a depressed mood.
