Matatu workers, through the Matatu Workers Union (MWU) and Long Distance Drivers and Conductors Association (LODCA), are threatening a nationwide strike over their exclusion from crucial fuel price reduction negotiations.

• Workers demand inclusion in talks, threatening a strike after being shut out of recent government and employer discussions.
• Maurice Oduor, Secretary General of MWU, highlighted that employers have not adjusted earnings despite rising fuel costs.
• A recent deal that reduced diesel prices by Ksh10 was negotiated without driver or conductor representation, failing to address their concerns about rising operational costs and stagnant pay.
