Nurses in fresh strike threat over CBA

Just two months after Kenyan doctors agreed to end a painful 100-day strike, nurses are following suit with a threat to paralyse the public health system with an industrial action of their own.

Through their union, the Kenya National Union of Nurses (KNUN), the care givers have threatened to go on strike next Monday if the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) they had agreed on with the government is not signed and registered in court.
