Algeria: Strike of Health Workers

Workers in the health sector launched a strike on April 6 in several cities. The minimum number of staff workers was, then, provided.

 

The National Syndicate of University Researchers, the National Union of Public Health Workers, and the Algerian Union of Paramedics called for a strike after the Ministry’s indifference to the workers’ demands.

 

Protestors demanded the third and fourth disbursement of the COVID-19 grant and access to automatic promotions and insurance. They, also, asked for a salary increase.

 

The protest took place in many governorates including Sidi Bel Abbès, Tlemcen, Constantine, Biskra, and Djelfa.
