📅 18 March 2019 📍 France

After assaults on hospital staff and worsening working conditions, the emergency service at Saint-Antoine Hospital in Paris began an open-ended strike. Other emergency departments joined, and workers formed the Inter-Urgences collective to coordinate demands. Staff called attention to overcrowding, insufficient staffing and the difficulty of providing safe care in under-resourced emergency departments. The campaign developed from workplace action into a national health-sector movement.
