Wilson Sossion issues strike notice over pending agreements

The Trade Unions Congress of Kenya has today (Friday) given the government an ultimatum to sign all pending collective bargaining agreements (CBA) before this year’s budget is read or face strikes.

In a statement, TUC-K General Secretary Wilson Sossion demanded that the Teachers Service Commission conclude and ensure the immediate signing of the CBA with KNUT and other stake holders.

He also called on the Public University Council to deal with all pending CBAs as negotiated by the University Academic Staff Union and the Kenya Universities Staff Union.

Sossion further instructed that the Public Service Commission, county governments and all public employers ensure that all pending CBAs with the Union of Kenya Civil Servants Dock Workers Union and all other Unions are signed without further delay.

The union leader further called on the Salaries and Remuneration Commission to urgently release its findings on the job evaluation process it undertook on teachers.
