70% Nurses Work Over 60 Hours a Week - Trade Union NewTimesRwanda: Rwanda
"In our assessment, we realized that the nurses get a salary equivalent to between Rwf120,000 and Rwf200,000. In addition to the low salary they get, more than 70 per cent of them work more than 60 hours per week," said Africain Biraboneye, the General-Secretary of Rwanda Workers' Trade Union Confederation.
Official working hours are currently eight, starting from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, excluding a one-hour lunch break. Biraboneye recommended a shift work in sectors such as health, hotels, and private companies, among others. "Nurses, during Covid-19, didn't even get horizontal promotion yet they played a big role in fighting the pandemic," he said.
