The group argues that it members are Ghanaians and "are entitled to equal share of the national cake."
COUPN at the press conference will outline a roadmap for further action if the government fails to address their concerns, the statement said.
The planned press conference comes as the government is struggling to contain growing agitations from government trained nurses who have not been posted yet.
Last month, they staged a series of protest at the Ministry of Heath and refused to go home until they were posted.
