Current news on johesu strike
I'm happy to help! However, I need to clarify that I'm a large language model, I don't have real-time access to current news. But I can try to provide you with some general information on the JOHESU strike.
JOHESU (Joint Health Sector Unions) is a union of healthcare workers in Nigeria, and they have been on strike since April 2022. The strike was called to protest the non-implementation of the 2017 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the union and the Federal Government, which deals with issues such as salary structure, promotion, and welfare of healthcare workers.
Here are some recent updates on the strike:
- As of October 2022, the strike has entered its 6th month, with no end in sight. The union has accused the government of not taking their demands seriously and has threatened to take further action if their demands are not met.
- In September 2022, the union announced that it would be extending the strike by another 2 weeks, citing the government's failure to meet their demands.
- In August 2022, the union held a nationwide protest to draw attention to their demands and to put pressure on the government to take action.
- In July 2022, the union announced that it would be suspending its strike for 2 weeks to allow for further negotiations with the government. However, the strike was not called off, and the union has since resumed its industrial action.
It's worth noting that the strike has had a significant impact on the healthcare system in Nigeria, with many hospitals and healthcare facilities being forced to close or operate at reduced capacity. This has put a strain on the already overburdened healthcare system and has had serious consequences for patients and healthcare workers.
I hope this information is helpful! If you're looking for more up-to-date information on the strike, I recommend checking reputable news sources or following official social media accounts of the JOHESU union.
