Trade union UHM has initiated industrial action at the Medicines Authority in an attempt to unlock the stalled negotiations. The union tabled its demands in 2010 but has not yet received any counter-offer from the authority. As part of the industrial action, workers at the Medicines Authority will not answer phones or reply to faxes and e-mails. They will not be engaging in any form of communication in dealing with the registration of medicines and the inspection or renewal of licences.
