Kenya Airways Strikes Pay Deal With Union

10 August 2011

Kenya Airways signed two Collective Bargaining Agreements with its workers union on Monday evening in a move to mend strained relations with employees who had threatened to go on strike.The first one covers 2008 to 2010 and the second one 2010 to 2012. This followed a meeting arbitrated by Central Organization of Trade Unions and Federation of Kenya Employers.

The first CBA will see KQ's unionisable employees get a 25 per cent salary and wage increase backdated to 2008 while the new CBA will have a 20 per cent raise. The two CBAs marks the end of a week long go-slow called by the Aviation and Allied Workers Union to protest a myriad of work issues. "Our morale has been boosted by this (CBA) document, let's go back to business," remarked AAWU Secretary General Nicholas Baraza.
