Nurses' Union Strikes for Better Conditions Amid Controversy
The Swedish Nurses' Union, Vårdförbundet, has initiated an overtime ban affecting 63,000 healthcare workers, including nurses and midwives, to push for improved working conditions, such as shorter workweeks and better provisions for full-time work. The action comes in response to a crisis in the healthcare sector, where a significant portion of young professionals find the workload unbearable, with many considering leaving the profession.
