Nearly six thousand ambulance workers in Bihar, employed by PDPL and contracted to the State Health Society, are striking due to precarious working conditions and the non-implementation of the 2023 collective agreement. They have not received salaries for four months, endure long 12-hour shifts, and lack social security benefits. Despite submitting a memorandum outlining their demands, the authorities’ apathetic response has led to industrial action in eight districts. UNI Global Union affiliate BRCKS supports the strike, urging the state government to engage in dialogue to prevent a state-wide strike across all 38 districts. |
