Uruguay: Public health workers back to strike

Montevideo, Nov 18 (Prensa Latina) Uruguay is experiencing another day of labor unrest with a 24-hour strike called nationwide by the Federation of Public Health Workers (FFSP).

The union will cease work to demand increased funding for healthcare, at a time when the government’s proposed five-year budget is being debated in the Senate.

Other labor demands are included in the protest, which will be accompanied by a march, proceeding to the Miomy and ending at Plaza Independencia, in front of the Presidential Palace.

The FFSP participated on October 29 in the partial national strike called by the PIT-CNT labor federation under the slogan “The people first! It’s time to deliver! For jobs, wages, and a budget.”

The FFSP ceased work from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. that day, which was widely supported nationwide.
