Ebola Workers Strike in Congo Over Unpaid Salaries, Threatening Response

Workers at a Congo Ebola treatment center have downed tools, demanding months of unpaid wages from authorities. The strike includes epidemiologists, case investigators, drivers and gravediggers—all essential to containing the deadly virus. They say the Congolese government has failed to pay them, leaving them with no choice but to halt work. The walkout threatens to cripple Ebola response efforts in a region still battling outbreaks. Health officials are scrambling to resolve the dispute before the strike causes a setback in containment. The workers have vowed to stay off the job until their salaries are paid.
