JOHESU Embark On Nationwide Strike: Could This Be The Final Showdown? by aikeron: 7:19pm On Nov 12, 2014 |
The Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) will commence an indefinite strike action on Wednesday 12th November despite being given the consultancy status like their counterparts in the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), which has been one of the talking points for months. The National President of National Union of Allied Health Professional (NUAP), Felix Faniran, who is also the Vice President of JOHESU, disclosed this to Journalists Tuesday in Abuja. JOHESU, a conglomerate of several health care associations in the health sector, having achieved the consultancy status, is embarking on strike over wage issues. “We held a meeting with the SGF on Thursday, the government only release one of the many circulars we told them to release. The one they release was the one in respect to consultancy status which we say they should correct which they have now corrected. “Other health care professionals are recognized as consultants and that it is their professional bodies that have the right to dictate who should be a consultant or not and not the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria and that such people shall be qualified to receive specialist allowance. That is what we have gotten,” he explained. “All other issues, particularly, that our salary which was supposed to be adjusted on January this year in the same line with our colleagues –the NMA members, who have had their own adjusted and whose circulars have not only been issued, but they are already enjoying a new salary package, our circular is yet to be released. “We are in the same sector but they are enjoying new salary while we have not gotten the circular yet let alone implementing it. “Also, this is already November, budgets have been prepared in all institutions and ours have been prepared on old rate, so we can no longer wait. “Since the government don’t have an answer to this and the arrears of CONHESS 10 Skipping they also have no answer to it, they are just compiling the list whereas they have compiled this list long ago, it was supposed to be paid in 2013, they could not pay, we waited to 2014, they said it was not in budget for 2014 and that we have to wait till 2015, we are all tied of this rigmarolling. source:http://www.informationng.com/2014/11/health-workers-to-embark-on-indefinite-strike.html |
