Ebola Frontliners Strike Over Unpaid Wages | San Antonio News

Frontline healthcare workers in Congo’s Ebola outbreak are striking over unpaid wages and missing bonuses, risking containment efforts as cases soar past 1,700 and deaths near 600 — the worst month on record. Workers, including burial teams and community outreach staff, say they’ve gone months without pay, lack protective gear, and face unfair treatment — some even fear dying “for nothing.” With clinical trials about to begin and treatment centers at capacity, the strike threatens to derail progress. Officials blame airport closures for funding delays, but workers say promises fall short on the ground. Residents fear the response will collapse, urging swift action to prevent catastrophe.
