Swaziland’s Industrial
Court has told the government to negotiate with doctors and health workers in a
dispute over cuts in on-call and call-out allowances.
The Court dismissed an
application from the doctors and health workers to strike down a directive from
government that would cut incomes by up to 50 percent.
Industrial Court Judge
Abande Dlamini referred the matter to the Ministry of Labour and Social
Security. Should the matter not be resolved there it will be returned to court,
the Swazi Observer reported on Friday
(16 February 2017).
The court action came after
doctors and health workers threatened to boycott on-call and call-outs.
