NIGERIA (Abuja)- Members of the Joint Health Workers Union, JOHESU, has prepared to embark on a three-day warning strike from January 23,2014.

This was said in Abuja on Saturday by the Chairperson of the union, Ayuba Wabba, who added that the strike is for the government to fully implement all agreements it signed with the union unconditionally.

 “It is also for the immediate review of CONHESS and release of circular to take effect from 1/1/14, the same way done to CONMESS.

 “We are going on the strike because government is not serious with us. We have found out that they are not committed to the implementation of the National Industrial Court (NIC) order.

“Skipping of CONHESS 10 is legitimate and legal and directed that Ministry of Health should revert to status quo so that workers would continue to enjoy the offer,’’ he said.

Mr. Wabba, however, said that the union would not call off the strike until all agreements reached with government since May 2010 and to date were implemented unconditionally.

“They must release circular commensurate to what they released to other health professionals, then we can call off the strike,” he said.
