Amendments of nurses in conflict with EU Directive

Wednesday, 01. August 2012, 11:24

Forcing nurses to sign the amendments to the contracts or new contracts, which ascribe them the professional activities out of their classification, is unethical and in conflict with the Directive of EU Parliament and Committee on Recognition of Professional Classifications. This is stated in the supporting statement for Slovak nurses made by General Secretary of the European Federation of Nurses, Paul de Raeve. Such practices for circumventing of the act on minimum wage claims of nurses should be according to him monitored by European Union, including the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights.
