Fresh strike looms as JOHESU demands April, May salaries
Another round of strike looms in the health sector following the enforcement of “No Work, No Pay” policy and non-payment of April and May, 2018 salaries of members of the Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU).
The Guardian gathered that a letter signed by the National Chairman of JOHESU, Josiah Biobelemoye, and the National Secretary, Florence Ekpebor, has requested the director-general of the Department of State Security to prevail on the Federal Ministry of Health to pay the April and May salaries to its members to douse the tension at the work place and sustain the industrial peace that has returned.
JOHESU that declared strike recently, suspended the action after some interventions, including that of the director-general of the DSS and court ruling on 30th May, 2018 which was instituted at the National Industrial Court.
