| 7 weeks ago, the staff at the KHMH staged a go-slow to send a message that they wanted a raise just like all the other workers in the public healthcare system. The government rushed in a team of negotiators with cabinet credentials to give the message that the staff's request was being taken seriously, and that the go slow should end.
It did, and meetings have continued with the most recent being held yesterday, with the KHMH Administration, Government officials, and representatives of the 579 employees.
Today, we asked the CEO if any progress is being made:
Dr. Adrian Coye - CEO, KHMH
"As I've said in the past during this process of negotiations we have agreed not to make any formal disclosures and so all I can say is that the process has been a very healthy one. I think it will have a conclusion very soon and we will have a joint release in the near future that will basically informed the public as to the outcome of it."
Daniel Ortiz
"Would you say that it is progressing for a peaceful resolution or should we sorry about industrial action?"
Dr. Adrian Coye - CEO, KHMH
"I don't think there is any need to worry about industrial action. I believe that the process has been very constructive and agreeable and so I look forward to this institution coming out of it extremely strong and especially recognizing now that the union that has been formed by the staff will be able to address their issues in the future in a very focused way."
According to the CEO, the employees of KHMH have since formed a new union to bargain on their behalf.
