You can force us to the workplace but you can’t force us to work – GRNMA to NLC

The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has said although the court has ordered them to return to work, the question as to whether the actual work at the facilities will be executed is up for debate.

This comes after an Accra High Court, for the second time, ordered the Association through a substituted service to halt its ongoing strike action.

Subsequently, the NLC has secured another application in support of motion ex-exparte for an order for substituted service, therefore, nurses are expected to stop the strike action with immediate effect.

This, he argued, is unacceptable since Associations are entitled by the constitution to carry out an industrial action when they feel displeased.

“And we [the GRNMA] shall execute all other options that are opened to the Union,” he stressed.Health workers strike: Patients stranded at hospitals nationwidehttps://imasdk.googleapis.com/js/core/bridge3.410.0_en.html#goog_1691861151Volume 90% 

Commenting on whether or not the Association is going to abide by the order of the court, Mr Tenkorang-Twum said since the Association’s leadership did not declare the strike various Councils have to be consulted before a decision is taken.
