The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has given the Teachers' Service Commission (TSC) seven days to commence talks on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA); failure to which they will strike beginning June 28.
Led by its chairperson, Omboko Milemba, the union expressed concerns over the delays in talks for a new CBA, since the current one expires on June 30 this year.
Addressing journalists on Saturday, June 21, Milemba revealed that they had already notified Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua about their concerns, as TSC had remained quiet on the matter.
During the presser, the KUPPET boss urged the CS to initiate the talks immediately, failure to which the union would be forced to call for a nationwide strike.
