Kenya: Review Pay Or We Strike, Lecturers Say

Public university dons could call a fresh strike if the Government refuses to renegotiate their salary terms. A national delegates conference at the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Juja, told the lecturers' union to push for higher salaries than those published in a recent Memorandum of Agreement. The University Academic Staff Union members want the new package effected immediately and backdated to last July. If this is not done, they threatened to convene a meeting to discuss possible industrial action.
