The riot at the children's hospital of Zurich

they were still on the roof, now they talk to each other again: The Doctors and the Management of the Zurich children's hospital will meet these days to negotiate the salaries. This, after it came the beginning of the year to a head because of a new regulations, that means for many Physicians, the wage losses.

Two-thirds of the squad's physicians rebelled against it and refused the new employment contracts to sign. The hospital Directorate of Oil poured into the fire, and by the eighth the critical staff representatives to a meeting supposedly "open course", as the "NZZ am Sonntag" reported, citing the protocols of the personnel Commission.

That the Directorate now receives a Delegation to the talks, evaluates the representative of the concerned cadre of doctors in the staff Commission, Walter Knirsch, as a "great success". Because of the new wage rules had been adopted without the Commission having been heard.

Real willingness to engage in dialogue?

How much willingness to negotiate with the Hospital management, is unclear. On the one hand, this refers to the upcoming talks, according to the Secretary-General Urs Rüegg primarily as a "Persuasion". You want to demonstrate to the dissatisfied staff that the new wage system is "the future is trend-setting and well-thought-out". On the other hand, the Directorate had signalled but openness for improvements.

a major issue merits the Additional, numerous cadres of doctors with the treatment of additional insured patients. This accounted for depending on the function, a considerable part of the salary. The children's hospital wants to move these funds instead of Central and fair to all Doctors, so that those coming to the train, the valuable work in areas without the additional income to afford ways.

Rüegg stresses that this is not a savings exercise. The hospital in the total wage bill, even a Million. In addition, compensation of vested rights applies to the previous Doctors in terms of Overall, for its future successor, the new Regime applies. In addition, all Physicians would have the advantage that new, your entire wage is insured with the pension Fund.

The dispute is to remain internally

What are the positions of the staff representative in the discussion with the Hospital, don't you want to make at the present time open to the public. The staff has decided, in view of the medial vertebra to communicate only when concrete results are available. It assumes that the negotiations are not completed until the summer.

The debate is likely to be related to the fact that the workforce is the wage level at the Zurich children's hospital, are generally dissatisfied. Compared with other employers, the basic wage could be "better", is to be heard by Physicians.

According to Rüegg, the hospital is based on the cantonal wage lists, although it would not be obliged as a private operation. This is for the squad of doctors with a specialist title, depending on experience and function between 145 000 and 220 000 Swiss francs basic salary in a year. The staff points out that "orientated" is a soft term. The Association of the Zurich hospital doctors and hospital doctors may not give any evaluation, as it is involved in the negotiations.

For prestigious about is money

Occasionally, Doctors bring your displeasure in a connection with the hospital the new building of the star architects Herzog & de Meuron: It is pushing, the Hospital raised for the expensive prestige project, a lot of money, but when you own Personal save. Others, however, argue that this is not a theme, it is looking forward to the new building. Also, go to the hospital to be financially well enough to be able to the construction. Write it in contrast to other children's hospitals in the black – whether it's at the expense of the staff.

Of the approximately 625 million Swiss francs, the construction costs are to be paid 100 million Swiss francs of donations. The medical Director of the children's hospital, Michael Grotzer, caused a stir recently, as he campaigned publicly for the anniversary million of the ZKB. You should have the money in the Bank on the occasion of its 150. Birthday wishes to give to the Zurich citizens and people of Zurich for special projects, but the new hospital is stuck.

A note that the money falters collection? Or even that they suffers from the negative headlines? In the fundraising Department of the children's hospital, it sounds to request exactly the same as three years ago: We have Commitments in the tens of millions. And there is still enough time.
