Members of the Medical Laboratory Professional Workers Union (MELPWU) have disclosed that several of their members are being intimidated because they demand improved working conditions.
The Union’s General Secretary, Dr. Cephas Akotor, stated that several of their members had been intimidated by hospital officials during the strike.
He claimed that several of their members had been threatened for requesting improved working conditions. Speaking to journalists, Dr. Akotor urged those threatening their members to cease.
“I want to use the opportunity to also talk to our directors, HRs and administrators at the various hospitals that we work with, and we are their employees. If we have difficulties, they should be speaking for us, not [when] we go on the rampage before they know we have concerns.
“The intimidation happening in the various hospitals should stop. People are threatening that they will not validate people’s salaries, taking people’s positions from them as heads of departments, asking our members to vacate their accommodations and all that. I think that we haven’t gotten to that stage.”
