Teachers under the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) issued a seven-day strike notice to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), on Thursday, June 3.
KUPPET Secretary-General Akelo Misori - while speaking at a press conference in Nairobi - stated that they will down their tools if the employer fails to raise teachers salaries and offer them promotions.
The decision to revolt was occasioned by TSC s delay to negotiate and implement the 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), with the current one set to expire in July 2021. Teachers expect nothing other than a salary review this year. We have gathered that TSC was advised by the Salaries Remuneration Commission (SRC), but TSC has not shared the advisory with us, Misori warned.

The Employment and Labor Relations Court dismissed his attempt to save his position as a teacher within the corridors of justice after a similar attempt in 2019 flopped.
The decision by Justice Stephen Radido is a blow for a man who has been at the helm of the teachers union since 2016 and had already started plans for Knut national elections.
It, however, remains to be seen whether the latest judgement is the end of Sossion’s bittersweet career after years of a frosty relationship between the Knut and Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
