Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHundreds of social workers have gathered outside the Finance Ministry to protest their working conditions.
Social workers have long complained of what they describe as an unreasonable workload, with low salaries and the constant danger of violence.
During the open-ended labor strike there have been no protection orders issued for children and youths in danger, no meetings of abortion committees, no respondents available to deal with inquiries from the elderly, no tending to domestic violence incidents, no allocation of minors to care homes, and no assessments of convicts or those under arrest.
