ICASA suspends work-from-home as staff launch strike

• ICASA has suspended work-from-home arrangements for its staff as a result of a strike by the National Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union (NEHAWU).
• The strike was called after the conclusion of the agency's 2026/27 Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) negotiations, which failed to reach an agreement between ICASA and NEHAWU.
• The strike is expected to impact ICASA's operations, with employees who do not report for duty at ICASA offices being deemed to be participating in the strike and subject to the 'No Work, No Pay' principle.
