Sossion: Teachers justified to demand 300pc pay rise
- 5 years ago
The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) says tutors are justified to demand a 300 percent salary increment in the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) due to the high cost of living.
Speaking during a conference on Special Needs Education on Wednesday, KNUT Secretary General Wilson Sossion indicated that the union did an analysis and the increment would be enough to cater for the basic needs of teachers.
Sossion further pointed out that the monies should be awarded gradually and are calculated on minimum basic salaries and generally maintained as salaries move towards the maximum levels.
