Quirónsalud
Quirónsalud is the Spanish subsidiary of the multinational health group Fresenius. With its headquarters in Madrid, the company’s clinics are largely concentrated in Spain but are also present in Peru, Colombia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Quirónsalud’s workers have organized countless strikes, campaigns, and assemblies over a number of issues, ranging from low wages to a lack of protection during the Covid-19 pandemic to anti-union activities. Early 2022, two unionized workers at Quirónsalud’s facilities in Colombia received death threats after organizing negotiations between the union and the company. A global union-led campaign called on the company to denounce the threats, which it has refused to do up until this point.
Ramsay Health Care
Ramsay Health Care is an Australian healthcare giant with subsidiaries present in countless countries, from the UK to France to Indonesia. Its facilities in France have undergone almost constant strikes by workers who allege understaffing, poor working conditions and low salaries, amongst other issues. In the UK and Australia protests against the company have focused on the issue of privatization, as movements demand that health care should be universal and free. The Australian community of Mildura recently celebrated a victory as a Ramsay-run hospital was returned to public hands after years of campaigning by the groups Mildura Hospital Conversation and Reclaim the Base.
