Court suspends health workers strike for 14 days

THE STANDARD By Matilda Mbenywe | December 17th 2020 at 12:16:13 GMT +0300 Health services will continue being paralyzed even as the Employment and Labour Court ordered striking health workers to temporarily resume work on Wednesday. Union officials, however, claimed the court order does not apply to the ongoing strike, stating it is in regards to a strike notice issued on October 19. The joint strike notice demanded an address of the welfare of healthcare workers on promotion and stalled re-designation. Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO) Secretary-General George Gibore said the order was meant for staff employed by the national government who earlier issued a strike notice demanding promotions of affected cadres who have stagnated in one job group for over 15 years.
