The Medical Laboratory Professional Workers' Union (MELPWU) initiated an industrial strike on June 17, 2024, in response to the government's prolonged delay in addressing their conditions of service.
This action significantly disrupted health services nationwide, leaving patients at public health facilities without essential laboratory services and forcing many to seek more expensive alternatives in private facilities.
The strike is temporarily on hold following a meeting between the National Labour Commission and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission.
It is on the backdrop that The Probe accessed the impact of the strike and the way forward.
