The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) has said their strike action continues until legally served.

According to the  GRNMA, they are yet to receive any injunction notice from the court or the National Labour Commission (NLC) concerning its ongoing strike.

The NLC secured an interlocutory injunction against the ongoing strike.

In the High Court ruling dated June 5, 2025, the court granted an interlocutory injunction to stop the industrial action.

The NLC had earlier declared the industrial action by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association as illegal and directed them to call it off with immediate effect.

Speaking to Citi News on Friday, June 6 stated, “They think that they should serve us a letter; we can’t prevent them, but what constitutes an illegal strike? When in Ghana has the Labour Commission said that this strike is legal? It is only illegal when they don’t inform your office about the intended strike, and we did—you had the letter”.

Adding: “If you are declaring it as illegal or whatever and you are bringing injunction, that is your job to do, and we respect the court and the NLC very much. We are law-abiding people. But just that things that we have not seen, we cannot act on them. I am saying that we haven’t received any letter. None of the executives have been served any letter about that. So till we know that, aluta continua.”

The health workers initiated the strike on June 2, 2025, in protest against the government’s failure to implement an agreement signed with the previous Akufo-Addo administration.

The GRNMA grievances include the non-payment of critical allowances, such as responsibility, uniform, and non-basic allowances, which collectively amount to millions of cedis owed over time.

Also, the plight of over 5,000 newly qualified nurses and midwives who have been awaiting official postings since late 2024.

Meanwhile, the NLC’s injunction from the High Court’s Industrial and Labour Division aims to force the GRNMA’s 128,000 members back to their posts.

The strike action has since seriously affected patients, including those with serious medical conditions.
