Montauban hospital strike continues

Major Montauban clinic Pont de Chaume has been experiencing industrial action for 10 days now, leading to the closure of 7 wards from the 15 available.
Members of the CGT union are seeking improved pay and conditions and nurses, auxiliaries and porters are taking action. Staff from the Tarn and Garonne prefecture are offering to mediate in the dispute which is a major disruption to Montauban's health provision.
