A group of employees from Wit Gele Kruis (WGK), together with the president of the AVB Union, Gina Maduro, held a general meeting outside the WGK building in Santa Cruz to express their dissatisfaction and discontent with the current management.
During the gathering, it was noted that the workers who were able to attend did so to make their voices heard, while ensuring that patient care remained unaffected. According to Maduro, the internal situation within the foundation is deeply concerning due to existing workplace inequality.
“We have two types of workers at Wit Gele Kruis: those with benefits and those without benefits,” Maduro stated. The union is strongly advocating to eliminate this discrepancy and achieve equal treatment for all staff members working at the healthcare institution.
Furthermore, the AVB president pointed out that the stance of WGK’s board of directors is a major obstacle to reaching a solution. According to Maduro, the director of Wit Gele Kruis has already voiced his position and clearly indicated that he is against adjusting working conditions and granting equality to the employees.
Given the lack of communication from management and the growing discontent among staff, the AVB Union believes that the current situation requires a thorough investigation into Wit Gele Kruis to address the irregularities and safeguard workers’ rights.
