Frontline health workers in fight against Coronavirus pandemic have again issued a fresh strike notice to the Federal Government over disparity in the payment of COVID-19 hazard allowance.

Biobelemoye said the union has resolved to shut down the health system if government didn’t correct the anomalice before payment of the third batch of the COVID-19 allowances. The union leader further lamented that instead of implementing the agreement accordingly, the CMDs of various hospitals were misled to implement only the “D part of the agreement, which they misunderstood to be given 10 percent to our members consider as non medical professionals.”

“So we want to make it open to your management team now so that the circular with the wrong information can be withdrawn and replaced with the corrected one. This is because in the agreement, paragraph one A states that the five thousand hazard allowance has been shelved and in its place, 50 per cent shall be approved for all health workers and not health professionals.
