Copenhagen: Danish parliament is expected to end the strike of the nurse Thursday by applying the previously rejected payment proposal, rare intervention in a country with a labor market model that calls for employers and trade unions to approve work conditions through collective bargains.
The compromise proposal from the democratic social government will end the strike that began in mid-June on Saturday.
This will give Danish nurse 5% salary increased for three years – the term they refused in March when they chose against the 3-year payment agreement approved by their union leadership.
Nurses who work for Danish areas, government employers who manage the Danish health care system, argue that they have been paid paid for years.
Walkout by nurses began in mid-June with around 10% of the workforce and gradually increased to include larger parts, although involved in caring for Covid-19 patients did not participate.
The strike produces cancellations of thousands of planned operations.
The government on Wednesday quoted a stack of what the Danish health authority was estimated at 35,500 surgery was delayed for the reason for deciding to step over with laws that apply the rejected payment agreement.
Parliament of parliamentarians in parliament 179 seats is expected to approve a proposal on Thursday with the support of the middle right opposition.
In Denmark, the government rarely intervened in wage negotiations and only did it as the last choice with the absence of an agreement between employers and trade unions.
