Nearly 5,000 KNH workers threaten strike over delayed higher salaries
Kenyatta National Hospital workers under Kudheiha, KNUN and KMPDU announce a seven-day strike notice over delayed higher salaries and allowances at the facility in Nairobi on September 21, 2020.
They demanded implementation of resolutions from the State Corporation Advisory Committee that were passed in 2012, which upgraded the hospital’s parastatals status from 3C to 7A.
Following the re-categorisation of the facility, all staff working at KNH were supposed to get enhanced pay but this did not happen, causing some staff to go on strike late last year.
About 5,000 workers at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) have issued a seven-day strike notice over delayed disbursement of improved salaries and allowances.
Kenya Union of Domestic, Hotels, Educational Institutions and Hospital Workers (Kudheiha), the Kenya National Union of Nurses (KNUN) and the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) made the announcement on Monday.
