PNG nurses proposed strike 2016

PNG nurses plan nationwide strike

An official of the PNG Nurses Association told Loop PNG this morning that because the Government has not paid them, they will walk off their posts.

A nurses industrial award was signed with the Government in December last year regarding their wages and other benefits.

“It was supposed to be effected on January 2016,” Loop was told.

“This document is a legally-binding document. It’s a contract between the union and the government of the day.
