Health: And Gueusseum triggers its 16th action plan and announces a 48-hour strike

"History repeats itself." This is how the Alliance of Autonomous Health Unions and And Gueusseum denounce the persistence of the social deadlock, despite the arrival of a government claiming to represent a break with the past and the "Jub, Jubal, Jubanti" movement.

After more than eight months of struggle, the union says it is forced to launch its 16th action plan to demand the clearing of the social liabilities inherited from the previous regime.

Trade unions that signed the Economic and Social Stability Pact are now joining And Gueusseum in the fight for the effective implementation of the remaining agreements. This convergence reflects the validity of its demands.

Towards a unified action SAMES - SACSAS - And Gueusseum

The union notes the de facto convergence of the struggles of SAMES, SACSAS, and And Gueusseum. This dynamic "naturally paves the way for a more structured entity" with a view to unified action. "Marching together, acting together, and, when circumstances demand it, striking together," the statement emphasizes.

In a statement received by Seneweb on September 20, 2026, And Gueusseum denounces the persistence of several points of blockage, including delaying tactics, successive postponements and an unproductive logic of decay on the part of the State.

Demands that remain at the heart of the movement

The union reaffirms its demands on 6 points: The granting of housing allowance to contract agents of public health establishments and to workers of local health authorities, the effective implementation of the territorial civil service, the development and application of career plans.

The alliance also demands retirement at 65 for other categories of the Ministry of Health and the definitive resolution of the land problem of the victims of the SUTSAS-NAMORA social housing program.

The 16th action plan will begin with a total 48-hour strike on Thursday, October 1st and Friday, October 2nd, 2026. The trade union movement also announced the continuation of the boycott of coordination meetings, supervision and extra-mural activities of the National Tuberculosis Control Program.

An evaluation of the action plan and determination of next steps is scheduled for Saturday, October 3, 2026.
