Labour expert Austin Gamey has weighed in on the ongoing strike by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA), stating that the association cannot compel the government to meet its demands through forceful means. "I will plead with both parties, the union within the nursing fraternity, they know that they have to go back to work.
Let them go to the table and have a conversation about any plan that is worth implementing.
You can't force the employer to pay you when they cannot afford to pay.
You cannot do that, you cannot force a horse to the riverside to drink water," he said on Joy FM's Super Morning Show on Wednesday, June 11.
