Healthcare workers in France have initiated a legal complaint against Health Minister Catherine Vautrin and Higher Education Minister Elisabeth Borne, alleging that they are responsible for deadly working conditions in public hospitals. The claim includes accusations of workplace harassment, coercion to work overtime illegally, and a culture of forced labor. This distressing environment has contributed to a troubling surge in suicides among healthcare staff. Specifically highlighted were three hospitals in regions witnessing significant employee tragedies, emphasizing the dire nature of the situation and the lack of governmental action to address these issues.
The complaint stated that the two ministers are overall responsible for workplace harassment and involuntary manslaughter related to suicides among healthcare workers in public hospitals.
French public hospitals have been forced to cut spending significantly, leading to complaints of insufficient staffing, low pay, and debilitating working conditions for healthcare professionals.
