Union, Ministry of Health, and INEM meet tomorrow to try to avoid strike

The STEPH union, the Ministry of Health, and INEM are meeting on Friday, September 11, at 08:30 to negotiate and potentially cancel a strike scheduled for September 14 to 28. The strike concerns the reorganization of emergency resources, specifically the conversion of life-support ambulances into light vehicles and the expansion of the ambulance network.

Why it mattersA strike by INEM emergency technicians is scheduled to begin on September 14; if no agreement is reached at Friday's meeting, this could disrupt emergency medical response services across the country for two weeks.
