Health workers strike against use of electronic attendance?

[sri_lion]

Dec 01, Colombo: Coalition of Health Workers' Trade Unions has decided to call out an island wide strike action against the use of electronic finger print machines as a method of monitoring their attendance to work.

The strike action is to be taken on Monday and Tuesday of next week. All the workers except doctors and some sections of the nursing staff are to join the trade union action.

Meanwhile, in response to the trade union action, the Health Ministry has decided to terminate employment of temporary substitute workers under the Ministry who would participate in the strike. For those substitute workers who attend the work, the Ministry is considering to pay doubled wages and also to offer one or two pay hikes. Further, Ministry says that it would stop recruiting substitute workers for health service but continue to hire only the labourers on contract basis.

The Ministry has been able to cut 30% of overtime payments to health workers after introducing the new attendance monitoring system.

That could be the only reason... if you already working and attending the job properly why fear? Its just that instead of Book keeping its replaced by an automated system... that will save money, will make the service more efficient and ultimately will increase productivity...

This is just (*&(%(&*%!!!

 

[x-pert]

Yeah ryt!

This is the dark side of free education. People who have a good memory but without even a little bit of humanity and sense, will go to Uni and become doctors

After all... They are showing who they are...

Silly buggers. How will the country develop if educated people behave like this?

Yeah.. All are not like that. That's true

But the thing is, the people with bad attitudes take the leadership. So the good ones can't go against them due to internal politics...

The thing that they should understand is, in a lot of govt. sectors in Sri Lanka employees have to actually spend time for things other than their core job functions too, implementing such a system will relieve them from their non-core duties and they can concentrate on what they are suppose to be doing..save their time so that time can be utilize to serve public better...

That's exactly what they don't want it seems!!

Are doctors involved too? I'm not sure.. maybe someone from SL can update us!!

What's the big deal... the ones that understands the situation are out numbered by LAMERS who don't actually understand the responsibility of their duty to public!!

This is where things get very funny... employees ask for pay rises, criticize government saying govt. services are inefficient.. but when the real deal comes up they trying to runaway from it!!!
