For the secretary general of the CFDT, the revaluation of remuneration for health personnel should be "THE great cause of the five-year term".
Laurent Berger therefore calls, in a column published by the JDD, for an immediate 15% increase in wages in the social and medico-social sector.
Sectors "essential to social cohesion"
These sectors “are dying from a lack of national consistency in their funding and management.
This creates a breach of the principle of equal treatment and access to public service, ”he notes.
They are, however, “essential to social cohesion.
It is urgent to get them out of short-term logic.
The inclusion of a fifth risk through a new branch of Social Security goes in this direction.
It is still necessary to ensure long-term and sufficient funding ”.
But, also underlines Laurent Berger, "behind these policies, there are professionals, three quarters of women, who, on a daily basis, engage with the most vulnerable".
However, “their payslips are below the average by more than 25%” and “their working and employment conditions are marked by a strong use of part-time work and precarious contracts, a high loss experience, a high rate of loss. 'work stoppages and a lack of recognition of the arduous nature of their jobs ”.
“Underpaid” jobs
For many of these “underpaid” jobs, “an immediate salary increase of 15% is necessary to reduce these abysmal differences, and give these professionals some of the republican value of equality,” concludes the union leader. .
