As the deadly viral disease Ebola continues to send many to untimely death with the highest deaths of 2,316 recorded in Liberia, The health workers in Liberia are planning to embark on strike as they are not happy with the Government on their wages since 95% of them have died from the disease.
The country’s authorities state that
although they would love to meet the association’s demands, they are
currently unable to do so, as the scale of the epidemic makes it
difficult for them to pay the initial risk fee promised.
According to reports, staff are
demanding a risk fee of $700 per month, which is the amount earlier
agreed on. However, they are currently being paid a risk fee of under
$500 per month, in addition to basic salaries ranging from between
$200-300.
In addition to the increased risk fee, workers are requesting for insurance and personal protective gear.
