Verdi Bolsters Hospital Staff to Launch One-Day Protest
Hospital employee union leader issues threat of work stoppage - Dissenting Verdi Proposes Industrial Action
Here's the lowdown: The labor union Verdi has incited employees at Frankfurt (Oder) Hospital to participate in a one-day demonstration. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, where these brave workers will strike from the break of dawn until the final bell, as per the union's announcement. A rousing rally is scheduled for the morning in the hospital's parking lot.
Why, you ask? Verdi is on a mission, pushing for a hefty 10% pay raise for the approximately 1,250 non-medical employees and 160 trainees, a 200 euro monthly boost for trainee wages, and some extra vacation days for the staff. Their ultimate goal is to square their wages with the public sector wage agreement.
Apparently, Verdi and hospital management haven't seen eye-to-eye in the first two rounds of wage negotiations. Fear not, another round is set to take place on May 20, 2025, so stay tuned!

- Union Verdi, in an attempt to boost the remuneration of Frankfurt (Oder) Hospital employees, has instigated a one-day strike, deliberated for Wednesday.
- This action by Verdi includes all approximately 1,410 hospital workers, who will be on strike from dawn till dusk.
- The core motivation behind this strike is the demand for a 10% salary increase for non-medical employees and 160 trainees, an increment of 200 euros in monthly trainee wages, and additional vacation days for the staff.
- The hospital's new buildings, such as new buildings under construction, will not be affected by this strike, as only the staff's remuneration and working conditions are at the heart of this health-and-wellness matter.
