The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association has directed its members to withdraw their services from 8:00am on Monday, 21st September 2020.
The intended strike is due to who they described as Failure by the Government to improve their conditions of service, especially under the Pandemic period.
The condition of service includes Non-Core Category two & three allowances, Frontline health workers areas, and Insurance cover.
President of the Association Perpetual Ofori Ampofo told the media that negotiations with the government over their work conditions did not yield any results.
The association said the government’s stance during negotiations fell foul of Act 651 of the Labour Law.
Section 97 of the cited law deals with issues of good faith for stakeholders, which the association appears to have an issue with.
According to the Association, the government has failed to improve their conditions of service for the over 82,000 members.
