2,000 JKUAT workers down tools over unresolved pay increments

2,000 workers at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) have resolved to down tools over unresolved pay increments. Led by leaders of Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) and Kenya Universities Staff Union (KUSU), they told the University management to close the institution as there will be no teaching until their demands are met. The employees are demanding implementation of the 2021/2025 collective bargaining agreement (CBA) which is now about four years in arrears,bpromotions and remittance of statutory deductions among others. The UASU Chapter Chairman Muiga Rugara and KUSU Secretary Nickson Chege told their members to stay away for as long as the government and university management take to address the issues raised.
