The Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU) has issued a strike notice with only a few days left to christmas.
According to the union, the management has been subjecting them to low payments leaving them with no alternative but to proceed with industrial action against their employer.
In the notice, KAWU Secretary General Moses Ndiema announced they would communicate the beginning of their industrial action, warning the government to prepare for a major strike.
”On December 21, we will hold a meeting with our members and if, by bad luck, we have not agreed, we will communicate when the strike will officially begin. This will be the mother of all strikes,’’ Ndiema announced.
They further insisted that their efforts to fast-track the completion of issues signed on their return to work formula was met with the government’s unwillingness.
KAWU also noted that their meetings have been unfruitful with no meaningful engagement from the government.
In their last strike that crippled services at Kenya’s airports management system, the workers union agreed to return to work following an agreement between the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) and the Transports Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir.
