Re­gion­al Health Au­thor­i­ty (RHA) work­ers say they are still wait­ing on salary in­creas­es, even as oth­er pub­lic ser­vants pre­pare to ben­e­fit from a 10 per cent wage in­crease se­cured by the Pub­lic Ser­vices As­so­ci­a­tion (PSA) start­ing this month.

The RHA work­ers say in­stead of get­ting in­creas­es, they are brac­ing for de­duc­tions due to in­creased health sur­charge con­tri­bu­tions.

RHA work­ers say that while they un­der­stand the process, the de­lay has left them feel­ing side­lined, par­tic­u­lar­ly as they con­tin­ue to pro­vide front­line health ser­vices un­der dif­fi­cult con­di­tions.
