    Health workers union continue weeklong strike

    The Federation syndicale professionelle de la sante (FSPS) is continuing its weeklong strike for better working conditions and career advancement for all health workers, a media source in the capital Conakry told IRIN on Friday.

    The union is also demanding retirement at age 65 for senior managers and at 60 for middle managers. The strike is affecting all health services in the capital and hospitals are only dealing with emergency cases, the source said.

    Meanwhile, negotiations between the government and the union are
    continuing, he said.
