ZIMBABWE – A new Zimbabwe law now banning health workers such as nurses and doctors from prolonged strikes, imposing punishments of up to six months in jail for defiant workers or union leaders.

A government spokesman said the provision, signed into law last week, stipulates that health workers can only strike for up to three days because they are considered an essential service.

Public health workers argue that their salaries which are around $100 a month for many and lack basic equipment, make their jobs untenable.
