However, the workers fear that the process may continue to other departments in the hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe employees are living in fear at the wake of the realization that the hospital intends to render them jobless.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere do you expect a guard who already had an established job to go? This means that more families are expected to now dip into more troubles within no time,\u201d remarked the source.<\/p>\n
Further, the retrenchment is expected to affect the local community are residents had benefitted from employment at the renowned facility.<\/p>\n
They are reportedly\u00a0planning to hold peaceful demonstrations to protest the hospital’s action.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis unfortunate action will seriously affect the local economy and cause a lot of suffering to the local community.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause of this predicament, a peaceful demonstration will be held on Wednesday, January 15, 2020, from 9 am to express solidarity with our people who will be affected and to demand unconditional reinstatement of those who have been terminated,\u201d remarked the source.<\/p>\n
According to another worker at the facility, claimed that some\u00a0senior officials intended to benefit from the process.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe services will be outsourced from companies which are owned by friends of some hospital management team and board members.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome sources indicate that earnings from this outsourcing will be shared by those hospital leaders which is a step in the negative direction,\u201d remarked the worker.<\/p>\n\n
