Italian OSS healthcare worker reform movement

Overview

Italian healthcare unions, including Federazione Nazionale MIGEP, Stati Generali OSS, and SHC OSS, have issued an urgent request for meetings with Health Minister Orazio Schillaci and the Minister of Labour to discuss reforms for Operatori Socio-Sanitari (OSS). The unions argue that over 350,000 workers are currently excluded from decision-making processes and demand stronger legal protections, the creation of a National Register of OSS, a uniform training system, and clearer role definitions within community health houses.

Following these demands, the movement has shifted focus toward organized representation. Workers are being encouraged to move beyond protest toward active participation to define their own roles, training, and protections, aiming to build a unified presence to advocate for their professional interests.
