The Government and Hospital Pharmacists have declared an indefinite strike starting today.
According to the Pharmacist the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission and the National Labor Commission have not treated them fairly in the disbursement of their salary arrears among others.
Speaking to Citi News the Executive Secretary of the Group Ernest Owusu Aboagye said they are not returning to post until Government resolves all outstanding issues.
He said “we have been led on a marry-go-round for the last six to seven months and its clear that the national labour commission and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission are not interested in treating us fairly.
“They have ignored the job re-evaluation exercise amongst others and the issues we have with grade structure and market premium, we have rehashed and rehashed it and it seems that the only language they understand.
“So we’ve had to painfully and sadly take that decision at this point however we wished it hadn’t come this way but it’s clear that government is not committed to addressing our grievances.”
