Hungarian public sector workers to quit their jobs?
Change language:
Many civil servants and public sector workers are unsatisfied with their working conditions and their salaries. To an extent, firefighters, for instance, are thinking about quitting their jobs and changing professions.
The issue of civil servants and their dissatisfaction with their working conditions and salaries have been an ongoing problem and the basis of demonstrations for years in Hungary. In December, mérce.hu reported the results of a research conducted by Závecz Research about civil servants and their profession. Results showed that
around a third of these workers had serious financial difficulties or were unable to reach adequate standards of living from their wage.
Moreover, 75% of healthcare workers were afraid that their work status would change. They were mostly dissatisfied with the fact that someone with the same educational background and profession earns better outside of the public sector.
The position of a civil servant offers some insurance when it comes to the job and the salary, which is the case all around the world. Working in the public sector means that we have a steady job with a steady income from where we cannot be easily fired. With the change of the work status, all this changes as well. Healthcare workers were right to be worried, as already last year, there was news about the government changing the conditions of their contract and thus their work status.
As Daily News Hungary reported at the beginning of this year, this change did happen, indeed. As the government could not reach a compromise with hospitals and doctors, the new system entered into effect on the 1st of March.
Here are the details of why the healthcare system of Hungary almost collapsed in the spring
Not just doctors and nurses but paramedics, too, feared a significant decrease in their salary prior to the decision, when the first news about it was made public. A paramedic told atv.hu that
From the quality of service and the qualifications of the public sector workers ( I encountered) I would say they are overpaid.
Ugly – we do not need this type of disturbance in our Public Sector Workforce.
Discovery the “middle ground” that clearly indicates a working ongoing relationship of parties.
Work through the problems to find a “balanced” or “common ground” position that enables progress and ongoing “respected” relationships.
LISTEN – to arguements presented by ALL sides.
LISTEN intently to each other.
Guns at peoples heads or Stand Over Tactics or one side of the Party needing to resolve the conflict, being witnessed implementing bullying tactics or riding rough shot over other(s) – not the way “progress” in this situation or any such problem – can be resolved that enables a resolution to the problem, that clearly bears witness to the problem being reconciled and progress – lets move on – ACHEIVED.
Win Win – for ALL.
Could be a vast improvement in the standard of service that comes out of the Public Workers Sector.
Is it a Funding issue ?
Is it a tired worn out system – that needs re-modelling ?
Has it been neglected by Governments since post 1989 ?
Citizens taxes – FUND – these areas of Governmental Departments.
Citizens rightly – DESERVE – services of QUALITY – that are not archaic nor of a 3rd World country standard.
There is the NEED to “lift the bar” – and re-model the entire areas of Government Departments inclusive of the Department of Immigration – and bring them ALL – up and into the 21st century.
