The Joint Council of Professions Supplementary to Medicine yesterday warned that they too would be compelled to take union action from 06 July 2021 unless the Health Ministry took action to redress their grievances.
The Joint Council had earlier held discussions with Ministry officials over 14 demands.
“However, the Ministry has done nothing to solve our longstanding problems. Instead of addressing the issues, Ministry officials are trying to win over some members of our unions to their side. They are also partial to some health sector trade unions. While they are given everything, other sectors are ignored. If people are inconvenienced by our strike, the Health Ministry must take responsibility,” President of the Joint Council, Ravi Kumudesh said.
