JOHESU to Call-off Strike On Friday

By Farouk Mohammed

The Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) on Wednesday announced that it would suspend its six weeks old strike on Friday, June 1, 2018.

This is following the intervention of the National Industrial Court (NIC) which offered to take over the mediation process between the striking health workers and the government.

According to the union, its consideration of the plight of health-seeking members of the public also informed its decision to suspend the industrial action.

You may recall that the Incorporated Trustees of the Kingdom Human Rights Foundation, KHRFI, had obtained a court order against JOHESU; mandating the health workers to suspend their industrial action on the 21st of May, 2018.

However, in pursuit of its constitutional rights to either comply or contest the court order, JOHESU filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal.
