FIJI: Judge rules in favour of nurses
Updated
Fiji's High Court has ruled in favour of the the Nursing Association's judicial review against the Permanent Secretary and the Labour Minister for failing to refer the trade dispute to arbitration. The nurses went on strike in July in protest at a five percent pay cut imposed on civil servants by the interim government at the beginning of the year. Justice Roger Coventry has given the Association until January to submit evidence in support of their compensation claim.
