Nurses attached to the Linden Hospital Complex yesterday staged a demonstration outside of the hospital to demand a COVID-19 risk allowance and more personal protective equipment (PPE).
They also demanded to know why they were not yet paid since the official pay-day was scheduled for Tuesday.
In a video seen on Facebook, several nurses were heard chanting, “Nurses need risk allowance! Nurses need risk allowance! Essential workers, essential pay! Essential workers, essential pay!”
