[size=18pt] Edo health workers’ strike claims 10 lives 
 [/size]



OVER 10 persons, including a nurse, had as at yesterday died following the three-week-old strike embarked upon by health workers in Edo State.
The strike is taking its toll on facilities at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) and other Federal Government health institutions in the state as hundreds of patients are now finding it difficult to get bed space for treatment.

As at yesterday, there was no government representative at the peace meeting called by the Federal Ministry of Employment, Labour and Productivity to broker peace between the workers and the state government.

The workers are demanding that the state government pay the new salary scheme for health workers as approved by the Federal Government. No reason was given for the state government’s absence. The industrial action has paralysed activities in all state government health institutions.
Addressing the press yesterday, a coalition of civil society groups urged the state government to enter into negotiation with the state health workers to save citizens who cannot afford treatment in private hospitals.

Speaking on behalf of the civil society groups, which included the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), the Trade Union Congress (TUC), One Love Foundation, African Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ), the Gani Fawehinmi Movement for Good Governance and Foundation for Good Governance and Social Change, Austin Osakue said the groups did not believe in the hard line posture of both parties, saying that there was need for them to meet for the sake of the suffering masses.


“Since the strike started, innocent citizens of the state have suffered untold hardship as they are unable to access hospital facilities in Edo State. In spite of the arguments of both parties, we simply do not believe that taking the hard line will bring our people the desired succour and to prolong this will place a moral responsibility we must explain to our generation and those yet unborn,” Osakue said.

Is there any law mandating state governments to pay the same salaries to their workers like the federal staff ? NO !! So why this unnecessary strike by these medical doctors ?

Another poor soul with sad life. Abeg go hug transformer.

Missy B:

Ok!

weldone. Touche.

@ topic.

Oshiomhole being an ex-labour leader need addressing this issue head on, the more it drags the more life's are lost unnecessarily. He should realize that soon enough.

When the health workers resume work they would still be paid their wages, while they are on strike they would make more monies from their private hospitals as the patients would have to go there for treatment.

Dr Momoh, the health commissioner has been a disappointment himself. He is the former MDCAN of the UBTH and has dealt with striking health workers all his life. This situation should have been nipped in the board long enough.

Clearly the state would not have the funds to finance the federal government agreement with her workers. But that should not stop the state from genuine negotiation and reach its own settlement with the workers. For a long time there has always been discrepancy btw fed. and state health workers salary in Edo state.

It is only when this becomes too wide that you have industrial unrest.

@ hackney

the fact that NL is anonymous we all know has turned a lot of people into a right numpty and the other Missy B called you.
If you are disturbed go to less serious sections; if you want to have a laugh go to the jokes section and if you want to be noticed go jump into a lagoon.
Leave sane people to debate in peace.

Is that the best you can offer for a response. I had sniffed an apology may emanate from you oral cavity, but hey o, what a surprise, more gibberish.

I guess m.ummy and daddy left the computer on or you have got access to their password.

We definitely need to tighten the parental control features on NL
