Casual Workers at Northern Regional Hospital Strike Over Unpaid Allowances

The striking workers, including cleaners, orderlies, and security personnel, say they have not received their allowances for several months despite repeated appeals to hospital management. Speaking to the media, some of the affected workers expressed frustration over the financial hardship caused by the delay.

“We have families to take care of, yet we have worked for months without pay. Management keeps promising, but nothing changes,” one worker stated.

The strike has affected hospital operations, with reports of delays in patient care and sanitation challenges. Concerned patients and relatives have urged authorities to intervene and resolve the crisis before it escalates further.

Hospital management has acknowledged the issue and assured the workers that efforts are underway to address the payment delays. Meanwhile, health sector unions and advocacy groups are calling on the government to ensure timely remuneration for all healthcare workers to prevent further disruptions.

As negotiations continue, the striking workers remain resolute in their demand for fair compensation, emphasizing that their role in maintaining hospital operations is crucial to the healthcare system.
