A clinic on strike

Most of the 180 salaried employees of the Saint-Leonard Clinic were striking on thursday. The reason of the strike could be linked to the management model of this private clinic whose specialities are neurology and rhumatology.
A new manager, himself physician, was in charge of Saint-Leonard since november. But four of the six members of the board of directors expressed their choice to let him off. That seemed to cause an emotion among the employees.
The patients, who come to the clinic from 200 kms around Angers, were re-directed to others clinic or even were due to come back home. In order to limit the risks for the patients because the employees were not as available as usual, one of the two floor dedicated to the care had to be evacuated.
