The Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) says it will begin a nationwide strike next Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The unions said the planned action was due to the government\u2019s failure to meet their demands.<\/p>\n

Their demands include payment of arrears of specialist allowances and upgrade of their members due for promotion.<\/p>\n

JOHESU tagged the planned action \u2018Operation Alligator Bite\u2019, saying it would be more severe than \u2018Operation Python Dance\u2019 the army launched in the south-east.<\/p>
