Spanish Health Unions Stage Nationwide Hospital Protests to Reject Estatuto Marco Draft

Overview

  • About a hundred union representatives rallied outside Madrid’s Gregorio Marañón Hospital, with simultaneous protests reported at hospitals in up to 16 regions.
  • SATSE, CCOO, UGT, CSIF and GIC Saúde rejected the Health Ministry’s draft as outdated and insufficient for SNS staff.
  • Unions demand fair professional classification and pay, a regulated workweek with a return to 35 hours, partial retirement with immediate staffing cover, and voluntary early retirement without penalties.
  • They urged the ministry to reconvene talks and table a new draft, warning they will stay mobilized and do not rule out a sector‑wide strike.
  • Further actions are planned for 1 October at the ministry, while CESM and the Andalusian Medical Union set a 3 October doctors’ strike to press for a separate statute.
