Fighting for dignity and respect, employees of the Calderón Guardia hospital went on strike today, saying they will not accept outside hospital officials to take control the medical centre.
Furthermore, the workers of the public hospital say they will not tolerae further intervention without justification or imposition by the board of directors of the Caja Costarricense del Seguro Social (CCSS).
The workers have the support of the National Medical Union (Unión Médica Nacional).
The strike action is not related to Monday’s general day of protest by public sector health workers.
