Federal Government And Striking Members of Joint Health Section Union of Nigeria Fail to Reach Agreement

At the end of their reconciliation meeting in Abuja, which was chaired by the Minister of Labour and Employment, CHRIS NGIGE and Health Minister, ISSAC ADEWOLE, both parties disagreed over the legality of the on-going industrial action.
Minister of Labour criticised the health workers for not following the provisions of existing labour laws, while the union insists that no labour law has been violated by their action.
With the latest development, the state branches of the union are expected to join the strike, with the Chairman of the Rivers State branch confirming the move.
JOHESU is demanding among other issues, that the government pay earned salary arrears of their members.
