Members of the Health and Allied Workers Indaba Trade Union (HAITU) on Monday marched to the Gauteng department of health offices to demand that healthcare workers be employed permanently.
The union, which also planned to march to premier Panyaza Lesufi’s office, was joined by members of the Independent Liberation and Allied Workers Union.
Among other demands, the unions are calling for the department to scrap temporary contracts and the employment of healthcare workers through labour brokers.
The unions claimed that this practice is equivalent to exploitation.
