The squeezes, threats find resistance among workers, beyond the tight vote in the plant staff assembly, residents remain firm and march accompanied to the Ministry of National Health. It was resolved together between all sectors of the plant, fellows and residents a New joint assembly of all Garrahan staff for Tuesday, June 3. The fight continues, fear begins to go, the anger is organizing and is advancing in experience in the multiple debates and positions. The persistence of residents in continuing their unemployment, making mobilization is an important point of support to achieve the unity of the entire hospital.
The hospital partners told us “the unemployment from 7am and the massive assembly we made today showed that we have strength. We are the delegates of the brown group in the internal board, who we have been fighting since yesterday to sustain the force measures along with them residents, against the majority of the board that defended comply Mobilization together with the residents today we would be the majority in the streets defended the Garrahan hospital and the public health of our children ”.
Garrahan workers receive a sustained, broad and massive support from society because of the very important role it meets in the health of excellent quality for children, with high international recognition and being the cradle of the training of multiple and excellent professionals who are later part of innumerable public and private hospitals throughout the country. Even residents of more than 10 hospitals in the city add today to the mobilization to the ministry. This is another of the elements of the strengthening and justice of your claim. This is what the Government tries to destroy via de -financing and low wages, an attack on the workers that points against the children.

While within the hospital there is a level of persecution and squeezes it is necessary to respond, doubling the solidarity and internally in the hospital “fighting that the force of the unit from below forces the unions to defend our unity in the fight and fill the assembly of Tuesday 3 among all the sectors where all the residents are welcome to participate where they can take the voice and vote how this fight is followed”, the companions of the brown.
This conflict exceeds a specific salary fight, today “What is at stake is our right to fight for the health of the children. We have to do a coordination and fighting committee between all the workers of the hospital, plant, hired, residents, fellows to assemble and decide a plan of fighting all together. Let’s not be intimidated. Let’s remain firm and united in the fight”. As the companions of the Garrahan Brown, the internal unity of the hospital, the solidarity of relatives of patients and of the whole society are the only thing that will realize the war cry that began to hear these days among the workers “Milei with the children, no!”
The companions of the brown health as a reflection preparing the next steps in this important fight added “Faced with a government that while attacking children, while demonstrating that they do not care, it intends to decide on our right to unemployment and if it is legitimate or not, in general with the decree against the right to strike or in our particular case dictating an illegitimate mandatory conciliation, that threats are added, squeeze, persecution sector “. This was part of the debate that toured the Internal Board of ATE before and during the historic assembly, where from the brown, as a minority of the internal, we moved to follow the strike and not accept the false conciliation, since our force is in the bases, while unfortunately the majority directed by the PO called to lift the strike with the same arguments that Rodolfo Aguiar Aguiar. Gral. If the defense of the union organization is put ahead, before possible sanctions, over the unit of the bases and the forces of the earth, the forces of the sky cannot be defeated.
An intense day for Garrahan workers, a new demonstration of the historical of this fight. A struggle that continues, forces there and well as evidenced by the massive assemblies and the important march of residents towards the Ministry of Health. You can put a brake on the government, and inside and outside the hospital make clear Milei with the children, no! Fulfilling the claims of all the workers held by the most important children’s hospital in the country.
