Likoni ferry workers have put down their tools paralyzing transport in the coastal town following stalled negotiations on a collective bargaining agreement.
Thousands of passengers are stranded in the ingoing strike that began early Friday morning.

This strike comes after Kenya Ferry workers threaten to shut down all services if their salaries are not reviewed upwards, early October.
