Service providers designated as "contract workers" threaten to stop work if the Government reduces the hourly rate of their fees. The professionals do not accept any reduction in the amounts they currently earn and are willing to proceed with a strike as a form of pressure.
The contract workers also accuse the Executive of lacking dialogue, considering that the Government has not demonstrated openness to negotiating the conditions of their service provision. This situation arises at a time of tension between the sector and the ministry.
An ordinance with the new rates to be applied is delayed in its publication. The document, which should define the new remuneration tables, has not yet been made public, generating uncertainty among the affected professionals.
Hospital managers argue that the publication of the ordinance should already have occurred, emphasizing the need to quickly define the applicable rules for contracting these services to ensure the proper functioning of health facilities.
