Hospital Universitario Infanta Elena

Hospital Universitario Infanta Elena, along with other hospitals managed by Grupo Quirónsalud in Madrid, is facing potential strike action. The labor union Comisiones Obreras (CC.OO.) has called for strikes on April 21st and 23rd due to disputes over working conditions. The union is demanding improvements in several key areas, including hiring practices, employment terms, working hours, leave policies, compensation, and benefits. To avert the strikes, Quirónsalud's management and the strike committee are scheduled to attend mediation at the Instituto Regional de Mediación de Madrid on April 8th. The outcome of this mediation will determine whether the planned strikes proceed, potentially impacting patient care and hospital operations at Hospital Universitario Infanta Elena and the other affected facilities. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between healthcare workers and private hospital groups regarding labor conditions.
