Catholic doctors strike

for better working conditions.

Cathcon translation:
The doctors’ trade union the Marburg Union has called doctors away from their work in church hospitals for a demonstration on Wednesday.

The rally in the Nord-Rhine-Westphalian town of Bad Honnef is directed against poor working conditions in church hospitals. The core concern is that doctor specific collective agreements for public hospitals should also apply in Catholic hospitals, said a spokesman for the union. A members’ survey by the Federal Marburg Union among 3,100 doctors had recently revealed that in many church hospitals there are allegedly particularly poor working conditions. For example, the doctors there suffer long working hours and unpaid overtime, according to the Marburg Union.

What is the world coming too?
