“If the Nursing Act is not discussed again, a solidarity general strike on the 17th” notice
Some setbacks are expected, especially among local lawmakers, as doctors and nurse assistants who protested the passage of the Nursing Act enactment bill in the plenary session of the National Assembly decided to go on a partial strike on the 3rd.
The Health and Welfare Medical Solidarity (Medical Solidarity), in which 13 health and medical organizations, including the Korean Medical Association (Medical Council) and the Korean Association of Nursing Assistants, participated, took annual leave or shortened medical treatment on this day, and in the late afternoon, ‘Nursing Act and License Deprivation Act’ were enforced across the country. Hold a Democratic Condemnation Rally. Previously, the Association of Nursing Assistants declared an annual leave struggle on the 3rd, and doctors and other positions also decided to actively participate together.
On the afternoon of the 2nd, one day before the annual struggle of the Health and Welfare Medical Alliance, which consists of 13 organizations, including the Korean Medical Association, to oppose the enactment of the Nursing Act, a notice for shortened treatment is posted in a treatment room in a hospital in Seoul. news 1
The medical solidarity plans to launch a second annual leave struggle in the same way on the 11th following the first annual leave struggle on this day. In order to minimize confusion such as patient discomfort caused by the annual family struggle, the medical solidarity was autonomous in whether to participate or not. As a result, it is expected that there will be no nationwide group closures or shutdowns, but it is expected that it will be difficult to see medical treatment late in the afternoon at some local clinics.
The medical solidarity is urging the president to exercise his right to veto the Nursing Act through the first and second annual leave protests and one-person protests in front of the Yongsan Presidential Office. The group’s position is that it is best for the president to exercise his veto right before the 17th, as a solidarity general strike would cause public discomfort. Despite the warning collective action, if the request to re-discuss the Nursing Act is not accepted, it has been announced that it will have a higher level of struggle, such as a solidarity general strike on the 17th.
The Korean Residents Association, a group of residents with the greatest impact in the event of a collective strike, said in an interview the day before that they are cautious about immediate collective action, but said, “If legislation or policies are pushed forward unilaterally without communication with the medical community, collective action such as a strike by residents will be discouraged.” We have no choice but to discuss it,” he said.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare is preparing for a strike or shutdown situation by issuing a health care disaster crisis ‘attention’ stage and holding emergency situation inspection meetings every day. Minister of Welfare and Welfare Cho Kyu-hong plans to visit Bundang Rusk Rehabilitation Hospital in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, which operates an integrated nursing and nursing care service, on the afternoon of the same day to check the cooperation system between occupations.
