It should be noted that the approval is published in the Official Gazette at a time of extreme tension between the parties, since this Thursday the Government will try to resolve the salary conflict between FATSA and health sector providers.
Through Resolution 2434/2023 of the Ministry of Labor was approved an agreement between the Federation of Associations of Argentine Health Workers (FATSA) and the Argentine Confederation of Mutual Insurance (CAM). The agreement establishes new salary conditions for mutual benefit workers, within the framework of Collective Labor Agreement No. 107/75.
It should be noted that the approval is published in the Official Gazette at a time of extreme tension between the parties, since this Thursday the Government will try to resolve the salary conflict between FATSA and health sector providers in a crucial meeting at the Ministry of Labor. For several days and until Friday, the union led by Héctor Daer has been carrying out strikes of two, three and four hours per shift.
This measure of force affects clinics, sanatoriums, private hospitals, nursing homes and emergency services, where only minimal guards are maintained during staggered strikes. “Our salaries have significantly lost their purchasing power, while employers in the health sector systematically refuse to grant the increases that we have been demanding for months,” FATSA stated, also denouncing that “salaries have been frozen since March.”
The Resolution also establishes that the Ministry of Labor will evaluate the appropriateness of setting the average remuneration, from which the established compensation ceiling arises in article 245 of Law No. 20,744 (to 1976).
Key points of the Resolution
- The agreement between FATSA and CAM is declared approved.
- Orders the transfer of the file to the Directorate of Document Management and then to the National Directorate of Labor Relations and Regulations for registration.
- Orders notification to the signatory parties and the transfer of the file to the National Directorate of Labor Relations and Regulations for the evaluation of the compensation cap.
