SA allied health workers face industrial action

Around 3000 allied health professionals working in government health facilities and hospitals in South Australia are planning to embark on industrial action next month.

 

The state’s Health Services Union, which includes speech pathologists, dietitians, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiographers and massage therapists, plan to take strike action on July 29 if negotiations with the government reach a stalemate.

 

HSU secretary Jorge Navas said the industrial action would go ahead unless the government reinstated entitlements before July 1.

 

Mr Navas said the entitlements, including cuts to long service leave, along with the introduction of hospital car parking fees had members preparing to take their first industrial action since December 2009.

 

The government has also earmarked the axing of more than 4000 jobs across the public sector, resulting in opposition from teachers, firefighters, administrators, paramedics and nurses.

 

Mr Navas said members would take industrial action appropriate to their profession, such as some not processing paperwork to physiotherapists not cooperating with patients’ discharge.

 

“Our members, depending on what profession they are in, will be activating their own actions,” he said.

 

Mr Navas said the government had expressed interest in holding talks with unions next week.

 

He said anything less than the total reinstatement of those entitlements would result in industrial action.
