On the agenda of today’s meeting is the request for staff hiring and revocation of the service order on the unilateral modification of working hours and availability of the Prevention Department staff decided without a discussion with the unions.

“Just a few months ago, the on-call shifts were significantly reduced, to bring them within the contractual limits, through the contribution and availability of all workers, despite the persistent and notable staff shortages – Aldo Capobianchi and Maurizio Cistaro explained in the note – Therefore it is proposed in waiting for hiring to maintain the shift with only two weekly returns and cover the rest of the time with the activation of prompt availability given that the CCNL does not prohibit afternoon availability but establishes that “The Ready availability is limited normally to night shifts and public holidays”.

“Alternatively we propose the 7.12 am shift with afternoon coverage through the use of departmental funds as happens in numerous other local health authorities and the use of on-call for night or holiday shifts.

We remain available for the overall assessment of the prompt availability carried out in the company by the staff of the various professions.

Finally, we ask you to communicate the quantification and possible use of the funds deriving from the revenues of Legislative Decree 758 and from the other activities carried out by the Prevention Department since 2020″.
