PSMI workers strike cripples services

Normal services are yet to resume at Premier Service Medical Investments (PSMI)'s businesses following a demonstration by some aggrieved employees over unpaid salary arrears last Friday.

A survey showed that while all clinics and hospitals were operating as usual, some departments such as pharmacies and radiology had interrupted services.

PSMI's senior manager business performance, Polite Mugwagwa said approximately 90 percent of the organisation's institutions were operating normally.

Mugwagwa said there were sporadic cases of absenteeism in some of their departments although there was never any formal communication for a strike.
