From the Medical College
For its part, the Santa Cruz Medical College, through a statement, expressed its rejection of municipal contracts for doctors in first and second level health centers.
“It is alarming that these contracts do not guarantee fundamental rights, such as: a fair salary, payment of the bonus, corresponding vacations or other essential benefits. We will not accept blackmail that forces us to sign temporary 11-month contracts, which implies unfairly giving up the twelfth (salary and) bonus under an annual contract. This situation endangers our economic stability and professional dignity. We reject any attempt to impose precarious working conditions that affect our union rights,” the document states.
