Health Care

Cuts in the care sector have dramatic consequences for employees and patients. On November 25, thousands will take to the streets in Salzburg against it.

No agreement in the third round of negotiations. Trade union vida announces resistance. 

On the occasion of the hospital summit of the state health officers and the Minister of Health, the trade union vida is calling for an end to the austerity course in the health and hospital sector.

Trade union vida demands more appreciation. The employers' offer lacks any respect. 

Years of union commitment are having an effect – nurses will be able to retire earlier in the future.

Only if incomes rise can purchasing power and thus consumption be strengthened. Especially in the low-wage sector, real wage increases are needed so that people can continue to afford daily life.

Trade union vida demands: Qualify domestic workers, strengthen purchasing power and ensure fair wages!

Now we need to think about the future - trade union vida demands an end to the fixed-term contract. 

Two people, two professions, one goal: Katarina and Philip in action between adrenaline, empathy and system boundaries.

There is a shortage of staff in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centres, mobile care, emergency services and other facilities in the health and social sector. The consequences: time pressure and overload among employees. The annual Day of Care on 12 May is an opportunity to draw attention to the ever-worsening situation and to demand better conditions. Trade unionists, works councils and employees are taking action around this day and holding protests throughout the country.

Years of trade union involvement enable nurses to retire earlier.

Take part in the big "Care Competition 2025" of the trade union vida!
