HMP for Doctors: Demand appropriate remuneration
Published April 11, 2022 14:29

HRM appeals to doctors, employed under a contract of employment and receiving a minimum statutory salary, to quit their jobs and demand appropriate remuneration. It is about a draft amendment to the act on minimum wages in healthcare entities and new labor factors.
"Dear Colleagues, Dear Colleagues, who work under a contract of employment and receive a salary equal to the statutory minimum wage or not much more.
The Minister of Health has just presented a draft amendment to the act on minimum wages in healthcare entities. Once again, the minister proposes that the minimum wage for specialist doctors should - in relation to the average salary in the economy - be lower than the doctors achieved in 2018 (under the agreement between PR OZZL and MZ). Back then it was 1.58 of the average salary in the economy, now it is expected to be 1.45. These are the findings of the so-called The Tripartite Team for Healthcare, in which, by definition, there is no representation of doctors, and doctors are treated as the culprits of other employees' poverty. Therefore, the salaries of doctors are decided by all but not doctors. This is despite many objections from both the CTMR and the medical self-government.
In such a situation, in the opinion of HRM, the only effective method of achieving fair wages by doctors who now receive minimum wages is group, organized (preferably with the participation of OT HRZL) dismissal from work by doctors and making their return to it dependent on receiving remuneration in the appropriate amount in the form of a "multiplier" of the average wage in the economy (as in the above-mentioned act). This will ensure an annual salary indexation, without the need to resort to strikes or further layoffs. Such actions are always effective. This is evidenced by numerous examples from the past, and in recent months, actions taken in Krakow hospitals in Prokocim and Kobierzyn, which ended with the success of doctors.
ZK OZZL appeals to doctors to take such actions. The union will provide all help to the doctors who will respond to our appeal, just as it has been in the previous cases. You must give up the idea that rulers will ever appreciate your work. You have to get your own salaries.
National Board of OZZL
