NUMSA stands in solidarity with all healthcare workers
4 April 2020
The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA) stands in solidarity with all healthcare workers in South Africa and demands that our government must urgently intervene to ensure that they have everything they need, in order to help us defeat the Coronavirus. We support the statement from trade union NEHAWU where they outline the following drastic shortages:
- Inadequate supply of PPE’s and sanitizers
- The lack of ventilators and quarantine beds
- The provision of safe and efficient transportation for all the critical workers during the lockdown
