Self-appeasement, overwork and referrals/privatizations are the only measures suggested by management, ignoring the serious problems for yet another. years.” structurally,” LAB emphasizes.
Also Workers’ committees opined that Osakidetza “maintains stains instead of tackling the structural shortage of personnel.
