The salaries of striking doctors are likely to be frozen by government.<\/p>\n
A statement from the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations\u00a0reminded the doctors and all other striking public sectors workers that under\u00a0the provisions of the Labour\u00a0Act 2003 (Act 651), a worker on strike, \u201cmay forfeit his\/her\u00a0remuneration in respect of the period during which he\/she is engaged in the illegal\u00a0strike.\u201d<\/p>\n
The doctors are on strike after government failed to satisfy their demands on conditions of service.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”ecD4TwjdyIdB6Kp9Jr8qWbVfnU57WrnP”]The statement further directed \u201call heads of government establishments where workers have embarked on illegal (partial or full) strike actions to compile and submit to their respective Ministers of State the list of workers who have been absenting themselves from work as a result of a strike or protest.\u201d<\/p>\n
The compiled lists are to be submitted to the Ministry of Finance on or before Friday\u00a0August 14, 2015 for necessary action.<\/p>\n
Government again reiterated it’s appeal to public sector workers\u00a0presently on strike to call off their action and return to work while negotiations continue in “good faith.”<\/p>\n
