Just after the senior staff Association of the Northern Electricity Distribution Company of Ghana (NEDCo) sit-down strike, some doctors at the Tamale Teaching Hospital have threatened to boycott work because they have slept in darkness for days.
NEDCo employees are presently on strike, demanding that their managing director, Osmani Aludiba Ayuba, be fired for incompetency.
However, the strike is beginning to have an impact, as some Tamale Teaching Hospital employees and doctors are experiencing discomfort in their homes.
Their perishable items like meat and fresh tomatoes among others have all rotted in their fridge making life unbearable for the health workers.
The angry health workers, speaking to journalists in Tamale, said their power went off and all calls to get the NEDCo officials to restore the power have fallen on deaf ears.
A health official, Dr Gideon Ansah, angrily called on the NEDCo staff to do well to fix their lights or they will also be compelled to declare a strike.
