Striking workers of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital have agreed to resume work after management promised to resolve their grievances by close of week. The workers, made up mainly of accounting staff and pharmacy technicians, want management to implement a 17-percent salary increment from last year. However, after a meeting with the management of the hospital, the workers have agreed to resume work. Chief Executive of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Prof. Nii Otu Nartey, who said he was not aware of any strike at the hospital, indicated workers should be paid latest by next week. According to the CEO, although management planned on paying workers December last year, �financial difficulties� bedeviling the hospital made it impossible. Prof Nii Nartey said salaries of the striking workers are drawn from NHIS levies paid to the hospital as the workers are not on government payroll.
