The National Union of Public Service and Allied Workers (NUPSAW) will be holding a live-streaming picket at the Far East Rand Hospital (FERH) this being part of NUPSAW's program of action to have the hospital shut immediately.
The picket intends to show the certainty of NUPSAW within the hospital that remained ignorant to the demands addressed by our members concerning personal protective equipment (PPE) and safe working environment, which has led many of our members testing positive for COVID-19.
NUPSAW tried to increase attention with the management about the absence of health and safety standards in place to reduce the chance of infection of the virus. The hospital management has resorted to intimidating staff members who have demanded the employer to comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations.
Details of the picket are as follows:
Venue: Far East Rand Hospital
Date: 03 June 2020
Time: 09H00 – 12H00
Members of the media are encouraged to attend and to cover the picket.
