Workers of National Health Insurance Authority across the
country are likely to declare a strike in the coming days over poor conditions
of service. Senior staff members say all attempts to negotiate with management
have failed. According to the workers, government has introduced a biometric
system with no logistics to work with and that explains the many queues that
have been forming at the various National Health Insurance Offices. He said
that the staff have been working overtime with no compensation and with no idea
when the 2014 salaries would be adjusted. The workers lamented that several
calls for negotiations have fallen on deaf ears. The workers were to declare a
strike last week but after a meeting with National Executive Council a letter
was rather produced to their mother union-UNIGOV to lead the struggle. The
workers are therefore asking the union to quickly take action or they will be
forced to proceed on strike.
