"For the last year, management has refused to bargain seriously, forcing us out on strike for the first time in our union’s history. We’ve now been on strike for over 100 days," wrote Richard Balberan, president of the Kawasaki Union in the Philippines https://t.co/FeaB1Kwihg

[Maldives Health Professionals Union (MHPU) @MaldivesHPU]

Today, we proudly mark six years of organizing and mobilizing workers in the Maldives to defend and safeguard the rights of healthcare workers-advocating for fair wages, dignity, respect and OSH at workplace for every worker.

Our organization stands tall as a beacon of resilience and commitment, not only fighting for the rights of healthcare workers but also raising a strong voice for quality, accessible, and equitable public health services for all. Together, we will continue to build a future where workers’ rights and the people’s right quality healthcare.
