Group backs Kaduna health workers on commencement of warning strike
May 28, 2020
A human rights group, Campaign for Democratic and Workers’ Rights (CDWR) says it is in support of the joint warning strike of health workers unions and associations in Kaduna state to demand improved working conditions.
This newspaper recalled that the health workers in the state on Sunday commenced a 7-day warning strike over issues that were yet to be resolved between them and the state government.
The health workers, via a communiqué signed by Danjuma Sale, Chairman MDCAN BDTH, Emmanuel Joseph, President ARD Kaduna, Ibrahim Abashe, disclosed that the promised 10% incentives for other HCWs, though inadequate was yet to be paid.
They said most HCWs that were infected with COVID-19 were from health facilities outside the IDCC and isolation centres and none of them had been paid the purported N100,000 daily for 10 days.
Meanwhile, in a statement signed by its Chairperson, Rufus Olusesan, CDWR commended the united strike and urge that the unions and associations involved not to relent until all demands are met.
“Should the 7-day expire without any serious and concrete effort by the state government to meet the demands, it should be escalated to a full-blown strike with the active solidarity and support of the Nigeria Labour Congress NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the United Labour Congress (ULC).
