We are committed to working in the health sector

  • Employees of private hospitals and denominational institutions in Austria - from doctors to cleaners
  • Social security employees
  • Employees of the baths and sanatoriums
  • Workers in sauna, solarium and pool businesses
  • Therapeutic masseurs and medical masseurs in independent outpatient clinics for physical treatments

We demand for you

  • Reduction of working hours: Weekly working hours must be significantly reduced in order to reduce the burden on employees and to promote their health and job satisfaction.

  • Fair pay: Adequate pay in the health care sector is necessary to increase the reputation of the profession and secure the livelihood of employees.

  • Appreciation in and outside of times of crisis: During the COVID-19 pandemic,  health workers were the heroes. This recognition of their indispensable work is needed at all times.

As a nurse, you come into contact with so many people, so many biographies. It is an extremely meaningful profession.
