Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu) boss Francis Atwoli has said that a report by the Daily Nation titled 'Death of Trade Unions' is misleading. Atwoli called on the Media Council of Kenya and the Editors Guild to take action against newspaper editors who allow misleading stories. The Cotu secretary general's remarks are in response to the report that details how Kenyan workers no longer turn out to support trade unions whenever they need to. It also details how the workers' union leadership has been working with successive governments, at the expense of Kenyan workers, with Collective Bargaining Agreements taking years to be honoured. "We recognize that our role as a responsible trade union is to engage constructively with the government, employers, and other key players to advance the rights and interests of workers," Atwoli said.
