[David Njaaga/Standard]Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) members will continue to miss out on the lucrative Sh54 billion pay deal as Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) dismissed all union claims and sided with the teachers’ employer. The matter has seen Knut members drop from 187,471 in June last year to 51, 215 last month with revenue dipping from Sh144 million to a paltry Sh37 million. This means that the hopes of the union members to receive salary raise have been dashed even as MPs stepped up mediation efforts to reconcile the two bodies. Knut members have for the second year now missed out on salary raises with its members stagnating in same job groups as non-unionisable members and those in other unions benefitted.
