Health workers in Mozambique announced this Monday that they will continue their strike due to a lack of consensus with the government, which they accuse of “moral persecution and intimidation” and refusal to pay full overtime pay.
“Our strike will continue until the government implements what has been agreed upon,” Anselmo Muchave, president of the Association of United and Solidarized Medical Workers of Mozambique (APSUSM), said at a press conference in Maputo today about the strike, which began on April 29.
He said that in the first week of the strike, health workers returned to the negotiating table with the government, which, he said, continues to refuse to accept demands such as the availability of medical supplies and improved working conditions.
