The Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU) has suspended its planned strike to allow for talks over the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA)-Adani deal takeover.
According to KAWU Secretary General Moses Ndiema, the Union opposed the proposed agreement with India’s Adani Airport Holdings which it says will cause job losses and bring in non-Kenyan workers.
“On Wednesday, we were invited by the CS Labour Alfred Mutua and after lengthy deliberations we were requested to pose our strike actions and allow dialogue to take place,” he said.
“We also got an invite from the Transport CS David Chirchir for Tuesday next week. After we have held our delegates meeting today, we have agreed that we will delay our strike action for two weeks.”
However, he said that should the meeting fail to bear fruit, the union will issue a fresh strike notice for its members.
