the Introduction of the new arbetstidsavtalet for nurses negotiated between the former Stockholm county council and the Swedish association of health professionals involves a centralization of many local arbetstidsavtal is replaced by a single joint. It is imperative for hospitals and health activities to introduce the new agreement is highlighted as an agreement to get nurses to remain, including the fact that it is easier to take out the time accounts in the leave.

– Arbetstidsmodellen is very good for a large part of the Region's employees who work in round-the-clock operations. But the groups who have had special agreements and which, for example, working in emergency care and intensive care are affected since they have other payment models for inconvenient working hours. Evening, night and weekend is perhaps the toughest load for my persona. It does not take into account this new model for the Stockholm Region, " says Malin Ryd Linder.

" We need to discuss it inkopplingsförfarande we decided on the hospital, if it is enough. It is a discussion that needs to be brought with the management.

" of course I am jätteorolig. For us, it would have disastrous consequences. On barnakuten in Solna is not a single agency staff and for me is the nurses are extremely important to maintain. They have a unique expertise. The agreement is central, and what is needed now is a broad dialogue, " says Malin Ryd Linder.

Läkargruppen in intensivakuten, in an open letter endorsed by the nurses in their demands on wage increases, and warned that the business may have to close, has now received a response from the hospital management.
