Slaying the #healthcare zombie
🧐"Many #doctors #work up to 100 hours per week, more than double the 45-hour limit stipulated under the #labourlaw, largely due to high #patient #volumes under #Thailand's 30-baht #universalhealthcare #scheme.. 455 doctors left the #public sector each year on average. With abt 24,000 doctors under the ministry, one doctor in the #publichealth #system serves approximately 2,000 people -- double the #WHO's recommended ratio"

You're not wrong of course; all life is anarchy and it is up to us all collectively to agree to an order.

The powers that be in the UK haven't forgotten about strike provisions being a compromise... they're working to erode them when they can!

Under the last government, rules were changed so that a healthcare worker down to work on a day their union has declared it will strike, if that worker's name is against a line of the work-roster that is declared necessary for minimum "safe" staffing, and that worker has been informed of that fact in advance of the strike, can be fired if they go on strike.

This is the gratitude with which healthcare workers are repaid after covid.

All new parents can now qualify for #Maternity Leave in #SouthAfrica. It doesn't matter whether you're a mother or a father, and it doesn't matter whether it's your biological child, a surrogate child, or an adopted child. If you've recently acquired a child, you get four months maternity leave. That's amazing! (It's still unpaid, though):

RSA Found to have Wrongly Fired Staffer for Union Organising

bylinetimes.com/2023/11/07/rsa

"In 2019, the Royal Society of the Arts awarded the IWGB trade union with a Future of Work Award for making “an impact where traditional unions have struggled” by “placing decision-making power directly in the hands of workers”.

But just four years later, when RSA employees tried to form a branch with that same union, a bitter fight with management ensued".

I've been thinking a lot about this recently because I have a digital nomad at home. In addition to the problems outlined in the article, there's also the question whether the free movement principle can be evoked in situations when an EU citizen works for an employer in a MS other than his/her residence & imposes a limit on working time spent abroad out of fear for taxation, need to open an office, labour law, etc.

#EU #AI #GenerativeAI #AIAct #LabourLaw #TradeUnions: "The EU's emerging AI act contains so little on workers' rights that Europe will need a separate AI-labour law, trade unions say.

Last Wednesday (14 June), the European Parliament adopted its position on the Artificial Intelligence Act — a game-changing set of rules for AI-based products and services.

MEPs inched further on labour rights than the original European Commission proposal.

But in the race to legislate potentially disruptive technologies, EU institutions are still largely overlooking the workers affected by incoming AI systems, unionists say.

AI is changing workers' lives in many ways."
