Nurses Union Declares Labor Dispute Over Unbearable Workloads and Staff Shortages
The Nurses and Nurses Union has declared a labor dispute, citing unbearable workloads and a severe shortage of nursing staff. This declaration paves the way for approximately 60,000 nurses working in hospitals, health maintenance organizations, and public health services to strike in about two weeks. Saoul Skif, the union chairman, stated that for over a year they have warned the Ministries of Health and Finance about the unsustainable burdens placed on nurses, but these warnings have been completely ignored. Skif expressed disappointment that after three years of the COVID-19 pandemic and three years of war, the state has failed to provide the necessary resources to care for Israeli citizens, indicating a misjudgment in expectations.
