The Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) will commence an indefinite strike by midnight on Wednesday if FG fails to meet members’ demands.

This is according to the JOHESU National Chairman and National President of the Medical and Health Workers Union Mr Biobebelemoye Josiah.

Josiah explained that members are demanding for improved working conditions, including the implementation of skipping of Grade Level 10.

He said JOHESU is asking for adjustment of the 2009 CONHESS salary table and allowances as was done for the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) in January 2014.

He described FG’s insensitivity to the demands as “provocative, insulting and unjust in the worst dimension in a democratic dispensation”.

He also lamented that members of the union were being subjected to discrimination and industrial marginalisation in the health sector in favour of NMA members.

“JOHESU members and doctors are treated differently, even when it is not the right of doctors to earn specific pay they accord them the pay which is part of the problems we are passing through.

“This now brings disharmony because there is no fair administration of the health system which is part of the things that is causing disharmony and turbulence in the system, to avoid that the President should change such act,” he said.
