Workers of the International Medical Corps have embarked on a strike action simultaneously in Monrovia and Lofa County in demand of benefits.
The IMC workers told Star Radio since they started working with the organization over four years ago management has failed to meet their needs.
The workers named medical, transportation, housing and severance benefits as some of their needs not being met by the IMC management.
The IMC workers represented by their spokespersons accused their management of ignoring their plights.
Mr. Stephen Zor and Darr Gbainmo said the strike action would continue until the IMC management meets their demands.
Our reporter who visited the IMC Head office in Monrovia saw no work being done as the workers were all sitting outside supinely.
In Lofa County, workers of the IMC abandoned their assignments, leaving health centers operated by the group in limbo.
When contacted, the Finance Manager of IMC, Briggs Kallon told our reporter the organization’s Country Director, Dr. Sham Alam was not prepared to talk to journalists.
