Proposal for a worker radiation safety directive requested by the Commission regarding potential risks from ionizing radiation exposure.

In a recent development, Sonja Bongers, the SPD Faction Leader, has voiced her concerns about the potential impact of Ameos Clinics' actions on its facilities in Oberhausen. Bongers' worries stem from the clinic's decision to lay off nearly 50 employees from its technical department by the end of the year.

The layoffs were confirmed at a meeting of the affected department, and Bongers believes that the treatment of employees at Ameos Clinics is unacceptable. She has made it clear that the SPD Faction will not simply accept these layoffs.

Bongers' concerns are further compounded by the fact that the specific identity of the management at Ameos Clinics who decided on these layoffs is not publicly disclosed, and the Ameos Group has not provided detailed information on how it will continue this approach in its Oberhausen facilities.

After purchasing the buildings of three Catholic communities and the Diocese of Essen, the Ameos group had assured that around 2000 jobs would be maintained. However, the recent layoff announcement contradicts this promise, leaving Bongers with doubts about the future management of Ameos Clinics' facilities in Oberhausen.

Some staff members have reportedly been offered contracts with an external service provider that works with Ameos, but no alternative positions in other departments with staffing needs have been offered to the affected employees. This lack of internal reallocation options has added to the SPD Faction's concerns.

Bongers has emphasized the importance of a well-functioning healthcare system for society and considers the layoffs at Ameos Clinics to be unacceptable treatment of employees. She has demanded transparency from Ameos Clinics, stating that she wants to know the truth behind the layoff allegations.

The SPD Faction, along with Bongers, is opposed to the layoffs at Ameos Clinics and has vowed to push for answers and solutions that prioritise the wellbeing of the clinic's employees and the overall healthcare system.
