The teachers service commission has declined a request by the The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers to negotiate a return to work formula after three days of strike.
TSC has told the teachers to end their strike first before they could have any talk with their employer in accordance with a court order.
According to TSC, it has already implemented the first phase of the 2021-204 CBA that anchor the pay rise of the teachers which TSC says has been backdated to July 1st
Kuppet informed TSC that they are ready for the meeting for purposes of addressing their demands amicably and without prejudice a day after stating the union defiance to a court order halting their strike until the case is mentioned in court.
“In light of the fast-moving dynamic of the strike, particularly the proceedings instituted in court by the commission, we would wish to handle the matters with you to avoid any protracted battles,” the letter addressed to TSC CEO Nancy Macharia reads.
Kuppet secretary general Akello Misori acknowledged receipt of the court order saying they had retreated to seek an interpretation of the same with their lawyers.
The union had directed their teachers to carry on with their strike in total defiance of a court order issued on Tuesday that required them to report to work after the commission moved to court.
