The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) through its Secretary-General Wilson Sossion has issued a two-week strike notice to the government regarding the new salary structure.
The notice comes in two months since the students resumed learning activities after almost a one-year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
He said the current salary rates, where teachers are earning a cumulative sum of Ksh 54 billion, is due for review since it was negotiated during the 2017-2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement, ending in June 2021.
He has warned the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) that if the letter dated F 10Â February is not acted upon, they will organize a nation-wide strike.
He further added that he had written several letters to TSC requesting them to have talks in discussion to the 2021-2025 CBA.
He also said the TSC’s decision to ignore his letters is an attempt to render the union irrelevant.
According to him, KNUT is aware that TSC has been having consultative meetings with the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) concerning the new CBA, something that Sossion has faulted because the union has not been consulted.
