On Friday, the Swedish Association of Health Professionals will submit its demands to the employers, the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR) and the equivalent organization for private companies, Sobona.
The members of the Swedish Association of Health Professionals should be able to work full-time throughout their entire career without risking their health, says Sineva Ribeiro.
The Swedish Association of Health Professionals organizes 114,000 midwives, biomedical analysts, radiology nurses, and nurses. A group that, according to the Swedish Association of Health Professionals, is heavily strained, which has led to an increase in part-time work.
Working hours were also the central issue in the latest dispute between the Swedish Association of Health Professionals and the employers, which was resolved after a strike in June last year.
We put the issue on the agenda and achieved shorter working hours for staff working night shifts. Now we see that those working the longest working weeks are switching to part-time, as they lack time for recovery, says Ribeiro.
