Wednesday, July 7, 2021 -Following the ongoing smooth negotiations between teachers union and their employer Teachers Service Comission, 16,000 teachers will be promoted and paid well.
According to Pesatoday.com, the new move is meant to reciprocate the recent good gesture by the new union management to withdraw all pending court cases to pave way for negotiations.
Addressing yesterday, the newly elected Secretary General Collins Oyuu announced that they are planning to restart everything on a fresh ground devoid of any accusations agaisnt each other.
He added that his main role is not to continue with the wars started by his predecessors who used to fight the employer every year with no signs of any ceasefire. “Gone are days when unions had to fight employers to be able to be heard,” he stated.
“At the time I was contesting, the membership had shrunk from 187,000 in the month of June 2019 to about 15,000.
“The numerous cases that we have in court tying the hands of teachers on one hand and also tying the hands of the employer, on the other hand, we agreed to pull down all cases to start on a new slate,” Oyuu further acknowledged.
The new secretary general also affirmed that the 16,000 teachers will be receiving their new dues before the end of August this year.
The next meeting between KNUT and TSC is organized to take place on Tuesday July 13. Their first meeting ended in disarray.
