President, Biobelemoye Josiah
The Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) has suspended
its seven-day warning strike across the country.
In a statement issued by its National President, Biobékentóye
Josiah, the health workers comprising five unions under JOHESU and
the Assembly of Healthcare Professional Associations (AHPA) were
expected to resume work on September 21.
“This is to bring to your notice that the 7-day nationwide
warning strike embarked upon by the members of the Joint Health
Sector Unions JOHESU) would come to end midnight of today,
September 20, 2020.
“By this notice, all health workers under the five Unions that
make up Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) and Assembly of
Healthcare Professional Associations (AHPA) shall return to work on
Monday, September 21, 2020 across all Federal Health Institutions
in the country,” the statement partly read.

Josiah also accused the Federal Government of resorting to
intimidation and blackmail its members “using all forms of faceless
organisation” rather than negotiating with the union.
The health workers had embarked on the warning strike on
September 14 following the failure of the government to meet their
demands.
Part of their demands included an upward review of COVID-19
special inducement and hazard allowances; the payment of all
withheld salaries; and adjustment of Consolidated Medical Salary
Structure since 2014, among others.
