The Medical and Health Workers of Imo Specialist Hospital has embarked on industrial action to protest against the alleged 30 per cent cut in their salary.
reports that the workers, numbering at least 300, have sustained the protest for about 11 days, to press home their demand for the reversal of the pay cut by the Imo State Government.
Speaking to newsmen, the Chairman of the Joint Action Committee, Dr Elias Anumudu, said the protest and strike would be sustained until the government restored their salary to 100 per cent. He said, “We embarked on this protest since last week Monday and we have also been on strike to make the government see our plight.
Also, Dr Justin Echendu said health workers had continued to suffer marginalisation in spite of their performance and commitment to excellent service delivery.
