KNUT Rules Out Possibilities of a strike, Plans to accept Empty CBA Next Week
The Kenya national union of teachers, KNUT, has maintained that it will not engage the government in strikes, even as sources say that the union is headed for a cashless CBA next week in exchange of agency fee, reinstatement of members’ register and settlement of arrears of the previous CBA.
KNUT secretary general Collins Oyuu said that KNUT will engage the commission on dialogue, rather than industrial actions on contentious issues like salary increments. Blaming the current woes on past leadership, Oyuu assured KNUT members of his potential plan to redeem the union’s lost glory.
“It is not right to take a hard stance on the government as this made KNUT lose out,” said Oyuu insisting that the government’s situation and position sometimes needs to be understood.
