Monrovia — Health Workers across Liberia are expected to embark on a major strike action over the delay in Implementing the Salary Re-classification Policy. By Willie N. Tokpah A leaked communication in the possession of FrontPageAfrica, signed by the President of the Liberia National Physician Assistants, Theophilus Tamba Fayiah, uncovered that health workers have given the government a July 24, 2024 ultimatum to implement a Salary Re-classification Policy.
The communication addressed to health workers across the country notes that the failure of the government to meet said deadline would leave them to take unspecified actions. “We are giving the government until July 24th, 2024 at 11:59 PM to present a clear and written roadmap with specific time-bound commitments for implementing the salary re-classification policy,” the communication noted. “Should the government fail to provide this, we will be compelled to take unspecified actions to ensure our demands are met.
” The communication also called on health workers to meet on planned tactics to implement their strike action, if the government does not adhere to their ultimatum. The communication said: “Dear Healthcare Workers of Liberia, We hope this message finds you in good spirits and health. We understand the immense dedication you show every day in providing exceptional care to our patients, and we are acutely aware of the challenges you face, especially regarding fair compensation.
We want to assure you that.
