MONROVIA, Liberia — Liberian officials are pleading with nurses and physician assistants to show up to work Monday amid a dispute over hazard pay that has prompted calls for a strike in the middle of the Ebola epidemic.
A strike could deliver a blow to the fight against Ebola in Liberia, where the World Health Organization has recorded more than 2,300 confirmed, suspected and probable deaths from the disease.
Members of the National Health Workers Association are demanding $700 in monthly hazard pay on top of monthly salaries that are generally about $200 or $300.
