"Professionals in the medico-social, social and disability sector" who have not been included in the Ségur "must be recognized in the same way as all those involved in care and immediately obtain salary increases like the others", they add.

A point in common with the CFDT-Santé, which called Thursday for a day of strike on October 13 to demand the extension of Ségur to "agents and employees of social establishments and medico-social services".

FO-Santé said on Friday that it had obtained "the opening of negotiations" on October 12 on this subject for staff attached to the hospital public service.
