Aviation workers have issued a fresh seven-day strike notice effective Monday, vowing to ground operations at all airports across the country if their long-standing labour disputes not are resolved.

A July 17 meeting of the Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU) in Nairobi resolved that the industrial action will affect operations at the Kenya Airports Authority, Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA), Kenya Airways and Jambojet.

KAWU Secretary-General Moss Ndiema accused the employers of ignoring court orders, frustrating collective bargaining agreements, victimising union members and undermining workers’ rights.
