Nairobi County workers go on strike

Barely a week after nurses strikes, Nairobi County workers have followed suit.

The county workers are demanding the implementation of a 15% pay rise that was part of the 2017 Collective Bargain Agreement.

Association of Public Health workers Secretary General Brown Ashira also demanded job promotion and salary for the workers saying the last time they were promoted was over a decade ago.

The workers claim that the CBA was not honored in their last pay and question why the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) agreed to the CBA then failed to honour the court ruling.

The 13,000 workers want SRC to give the County Government of Nairobi a go ahead to implement the CBA as ruled by Industrial Court Judge Nelson Abwodha November last year.
