The Chairman, Medical and Health Workers Union, Enugu State
Chapter, Mr Maurice Eze, said on Saturday that health workers in state
hospitals had begun an indefinite strike to protest the non-implementation of
the 2009 Salary Structure.
Eze told the News Agency of Nigeria in Enugu that the
approved 2009 salary structure for health workers and professionals had not
been fully implemented by the state government.
He said the state government had implemented the doctors’
Salary Structure, but that it had yet to implement that of the health workers.
Eze said, “All the states in Nigeria have implemented the
structure, except Enugu.
“We have written and appealed to the state government to pay
us but to no avail.
“Even when they took us to court, the court ordered them to
pay us because it is our entitlement but the government refused to carry out the
order.
“Our two months’ salaries for April and May 2009 were seized
because we went on strike to press for our demand and up till this moment, we
are yet to be paid the seized salaries.
“We will not call off the strike until the state government
meets our demands, “ he added.
