WILLEMSTAD - The trade unions ABVO and CBV discussed Fundashon Kuido di Ambulans (FKA) with Minister Dorothy Pietersz-Janga this morning at the Ministry of Health, Environment and Nature (GMN). The staff raised the alarm about the situation at the ambulance foundation earlier this week.
The ambulance employees, led by the healthcare union CBV, took to the streets on Monday to hand Pietersz-Janga a letter. The minister then decided to call a meeting with both unions.
FKA employees state that their legal position has not been regulated by the government and refer to a report by the Government Accountants Bureau (SOAB). The report focused on the job description and responsibility of ambulance personnel. The physical safety of the employees and the financial legal position were also discussed.
Furthermore, they are not happy about a new recruitment process, while there is also a plan on the table to send some of the staff to Aruba for training.
It is not yet known how the meeting with the minister went.
