COTU opposes plan by the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority to deploy National Youth Service personnel in airport security roles, warns against replacing permanent workers with insecure labour.
Atwoli has launched a scathing attack on Sifuna and his Linda Mwananchi brigade, warning that he cannot ascend to the presidency through the support of former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
COTU SG Francis Atwoli says the government’s proposed 12% wage increase will become legally binding once gazetted, urging employers to comply despite objections from FKE.
Atwoli clarifies the 12% pay rise is a general wage increase for all workers, not a minimum wage adjustment, with only agricultural workers receiving a 15% minimum wage boost.
Instead of addressing workers' demands, the President and other leaders delved into campaigns. Ruto's speech dwelt largely on his score card as Cotu's Atwoli sang the president's praises.
Atwoli has urged the IEBC to curb premature political rallies, warning that rising political tensions could destabilise the country and leave workers exposed to the consequences.
