During September the three public service federations are mobilising their members in another push to renegotiate the collective agreement covering the 150,000 workers in the private health sector. The unions will make this a public campaign highlighting the connection between quality services and treating workers with respect – pay and conditions in the sector should have been renegotiated in a new collective agreement four years ago. The unions want the employers to make a public commitment to renegotiate the contract and have called on the public authorities to put pressure on them as well (See also this Collective Bargaining Newsletter Year 2 July-August 2009).
