The end of an exceptional conflict by its duration.

That's it, a strike exit protocol has been signed in the emergency department of the Emile-Muller public hospital in Mulhouse (Haut-Rhin).

Launched in April 2019, the social movement calling for better working conditions will officially cease on January 1, 2021, said the regional hospital group of Mulhouse and South-Alsace (GHRMSA).

Begun on April 26, 2019, this movement resulted in two unlimited strike notices filed by CFDT, CFTC, CGT, FO and Unsa.

The emergencies of the Mulhouse hospital had been confronted in 2019 with the departure of many doctors, tired of the poor working conditions.

The service had also operated for several months without an appointed chief, until the hiring in November 2019 of Dr Marc Noizet, who became one of the faces of the fight against the coronavirus epidemic, the Mulhouse hospital having been the one of the most affected during the first wave of the epidemic last spring.

Recruitment, training, equipment, works

Between August and November 2019, the hiring of nursing and non-medical staff, representing 23.9 full-time equivalents, was made to strengthen the emergency teams at the hospitals of Mulhouse and Saint-Louis, said the GHRMSA.

In addition, a training plan on “improving staff safety” has started and equipment was renewed in 2019 and 2020 for the sum of 350,000 euros.

Rehabilitation work on the premises of the Emile-Muller hospital should take place in 2021. The opening of an unscheduled care center is also planned near emergencies to help relieve congestion in the service.

Finally, the reorganization plan implemented since 2019 was supplemented by a “service project” in June after the first wave of the epidemic, providing in particular to strengthen the medical team and adapt the premises to the activity. .
