The strike is in protest against delays in the payment of conversion difference under the Single Spine Salary Structure.
Stephen Corquaye is Chairman of the Government and Hospitals Pharmacists Association, GHOSPA.

"We were invited, Fair Wages were invited and Labour Commission were invited. Recommendations were done.
He said eight months after, nothing has been done in resolving their grievances.
