Union wants nurses’ issues addressed
Article by February 13, 2021
Acting General Secretary of the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) Wayne Walrond has come out in staunch defense of public sector nurses subjected to discrepancies in the system which are preventing them from being appointed and keeping others sidelined, while imported nurses take up jobs here.
Speaking on
Starcom Network’s Down-to-Brass-Tacks radio programme, Walrond echoed sentiments expressed by his contemporary in the Unity Workers’ Union Senator Caswell Franklyn who is threatening industrial action over long-standing grievances.
The latest issues include inadequate COVID-19 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and disputes over hazard pay proposals.
