The health sector could be affected by more unease as the government is seeking to change the implementation date for a salary increase for nurses in the pipeline since 2006. This is in the midst of an injunction forcing nurses to return to work, following protests about the delayed implementation of their reclassification exercise. It is a sign of the economic times; government claiming "severe financial constraints" forcing it to renege on a commitment to nurses. The 15-percent wage increase and fringe benefits were promised to all public sector workers in 2006 but according to Mrs. Allwood-Anderson, nurses are perhaps the only group that still has not been paid. The increase was to be retroactive to July 1, 2007 but a change in that date means nurses will receive less money. But with nurses already riled up over the stalled implementation of their reclassification, the NAJ won't take this one sitting down. Tuesday is five days since labour minister Pearnel Charles obtained a 14-day injunction forcing nurses to return to work after mass sick-out last week. The NAJ has called an extraordinary general meeting for March 15 and it remains to be seen what will happen when the injunction expires on March 18 especially with this latest blow.
