RETURN TO WORK: NLC ORDERS GAMLS

National Labour Commission (NLC) has urged striking workers of Ghana Association of Laboratory Scientists (GAMLS-KATH) to return back to work with immediate effect.

Executive Secretary for the National Labor Commission, Mr. Ofosu Asamoah stated that, the authorities will meet with them to find amicable solution hence the need for them to return back to work.

The Laboratory Scientists at KATH began a one-week sit-down strike last week to protest the posting of two medical specialists to the Laboratory Services Directorate of the hospital.

Calls by the Ministry of Health and management of KATH for the scientists to resume work for dialogue to begin, have yielded no results.

Authorities have resorted to other private laboratories to meet the needs of patients who require such services.

The national Association of the Laboratory Scientists has also threatened to escalate the strike nationwide.

Mr. Asamoah revealed that, the constitution doesn’t allow workers to go on strike if they feel agitated at the work premises.

He again added that, under no circumstance would they allow the Laboratory workers embark on a nation’s strike coming Thursday.
