On the heels of praise from the Minister of Health, 76 staffers walked off the job at the Linden Hospital Complex yesterday.
The strike was caused by the lack of gratuity paid to staff members for the month of March, Vanessa Kissoon, Region 10 Representative for APNU told the National Assembly during the budget debate yesterday that while Minister Bheri Ramsaran was praising the Linden hospital as one of the best in the country, that same sentiment was not felt by the staff.
“Today the nurses went on strike. 76 persons or workers did not receive their gratuity for the month of March.
