Ambulance personnel have been ordered to protective work in some cases.
Johan Bratt says that most of the business is running as normal, the region was prepared for what was to happen. But in about 20 cases, spread over the units in the region, operations have been cancelled.
This does not apply to emergency cases, says chief physician Johan Larsson.
Ambulance personnel have also been ordered to protective work when the working hours are over while the operation is still in progress and then switched to overtime.
We have that right, says Johan Larsson.
Several employers have requested negotiation about protective work, which takes place afterwards to decide whether the ordered protective work was justified.
In urgent situations, the employer can order protective work in emergency situations that cannot wait. It should not be about the more everyday chores, but something that arises suddenly connected to a special patient or a special situation.
We have received a number, says Emma Jonsson, chairman of the Hospital Association in Stockholm.
Even in Å–rebro, the employer has requested negotiations on protective work in some cases.
We have also received a request for negotiations to maintain emergency lines, says Ulrika Hedelind, chairman of the Hospital Association in Å–rebro.
Staff may be on standby in the home after regular working hours for a small fee, it may be that staff who work in the evening are on standby overnight. If standby personnel are called in, overtime will be charged.
Our approach is that the employer is happy to keep the readiness itself, but if you are called in, it is about overtime so it is covered by the blockade, says Ulrika Hedelind.
During Friday, regions go through the consequences of the blockade.
Matilda Uusijärvi, press manager at Vårdförbundet, says that membership applications have increased significantly.
In April alone, we have received 2,000 applications, the last few days it is 400. We interpret that as the support is very large, she says.
