A nationwide strike by aviation workers is imminent as the Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU) insists their demands must be met to avoid significant disruption to airport operations.

  • The strike, set to affect Kenya Airports Authority (KAA), Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA), Kenya Airways, and Jambojet, was threatened due to unresolved labor disputes.
  • KAWU Secretary-General Moss Ndiema stated the union is open to talks but warned of a "devastating" strike if no agreement is reached on grievances including the failure to conclude Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) and the use of National Youth Service (NYS) personnel.
  • Some employers have reportedly operated without a CBA for nearly a decade, a key point of contention for the union.

Key Highlights

The Council of Governors (CoG), led by Chairperson Ahmed Abdullahi, has blamed the Ministry of Health under Aden Duale for fueling health worker strikes, citing unfulfilled funding and administrative agreements.

  • The CoG asserts that delays in implementing doctors' Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) are due to a year-long wait for a payroll code from the Ministry of Public Service, not financial constraints by counties.
  • Abdullahi also accused the Ministry of Health of failing to honor agreements on funding and implementation of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) program, leading to ongoing UHC worker strikes.
  • The CoG stated counties have no dispute with the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) and will begin paying doctors CBA rates in August.
