– as Guyana observes World Day for Decent WorkAs World Day for Decent Work was observed yesterday, staffers at the Mabaruma Hospital Complex engaged strike action to highlight the unacceptable conditions they are forced to operate under.This disclosure was made by General Secretary of the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU), Chandrawattie Persaud, during a press conference at the union’s New Garden Street head office yesterday.According to Persaud, the workers, with the support of senior health officers within the region, decided to withhold their labour yesterday because of the poor and atrocious condition.Persaud explained that it was about two and a half years ago the workers and patients were removed from the hospital complex and were relocated to the nurses’ hostel for temporary accommodation,Cheap Stitched Jerseys, adding that the stipulated time has been surpassed and they are still at the hostel.“They were assured that they would have been there for six months only…The hostel now houses both patients and health care workers…and the entire physical condition of the hostel itself has deteriorated over the period…the roof is now leaking; there is no proper electricity; there is no running water and whenever it rains the patients have to be moved…”Persaud articulated that the conditions as reported to the union are indeed very appalling, noting that it is difficult to understand that health workers and patients are placed under such conditions.She disclosed that regional officials as well as the Permanent Secretary of the Local Government Ministry were informed, and to date there has been no change in the situation.She speculated that the workers have waited long enough for the situation to be corrected thus they have decided to take action.“Today (yesterday) the workers without recognising that it is World Day for Decent Work decided to take action…when I told them they said that this probably is the most appropriate time to take action…The union fully supports the industrial action and we will be pursuing the matter further.”Persaud also related that a similar situation is being faced by workers at the National Psychiatric Hospital,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, thus the workers there had also decided to come out in support of Decent Work like their colleagues in Mabaruma.“I think it is timely that they have acted consistent with the observance of World Day for Decent Work.
