Mauritania: Condemning the Delay in Payment of their Dues, Atar Hospital Workers Go on Strike

Under the title “Rights are to be taken”, health workers at the regional hospital in Aatar, the capital of Adrar, organized a demonstration last Thursday, due to the hospital’s delay in paying overdued salaries to night attendance workers and incentive grants from January until now.

 

According to a statement by the workers’ spokesperson, the option to go on a strike was imposed on the workers, adding that the hospital administration did not leave them with any other option to recover their stolen rights.

 

The spokesperson added that: “This decision came after our attempts in various ways and by the various available means, and no other solution remained for us besides striking. We deposited a notice with the administration a week before today, on Thursday, August 13, and the administration did not show any interest”.
