A nationwide strike threatening to cripple Kenya's aviation sector remains on course unless employers address long-standing labour grievances before the expiry of the union's strike notice, the Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU) has warned.
Speaking during a press briefing on Thursday at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, KAWU Secretary General Moss Ndiema said workers drawn from the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA), Kenya Airports Authority (KAA), Kenya Airways (KQ) and Jambojet will down their tools if no agreement is reached by the end of this week.
He said the planned industrial action could disrupt operations at airports across the country, including Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), affecting passenger travel and cargo services.
