Nigerian Health Union Defies Government Threat, Continues Nationwide Strike
The Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) in Nigeria is maintaining a nationwide strike despite the government's threat of implementing a "No Work, No Pay" policy. The union insists on continuing the indefinite strike to push for the implementation of salary adjustments and welfare-related demands.
The decision was made following a virtual meeting of the union's national leadership on January 12 in Abuja. JOHESU criticizes the government's use of the policy as a pressure tactic during labor disputes and emphasizes its members' right to strike under existing industrial relations laws.
