Communications regulator Icasa has said none of its services will be affected when staff embark on a protected strike from Thursday, 6 August. Responding to questions from TechCentral, Icasa confirmed that Nehawu, its recognised union, has notified it of the union’s intention to strike from Thursday over cost-of-living adjustment negotiations. Icasa described the measure as intended to maintain operational oversight and attendance management during the strike. A no-work-no-pay principle will apply for the duration of the strike, in line with picketing rules agreed between Icasa and Nehawu. Anyone who does not report for duty at an Icasa office will be treated as participating in the strike.
