On promotions, teachers claimed that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) had failed to recognise and compensate them upon their graduation hence denying them proper remuneration. Knut however acknowledged that the 2013 CBA was implemented on July 1, but it is resisting the implementation of a policy denying them their normal annual salary increment. The union therefore sought the help of the Ministry of Labour and gave it seven days to end the stalemate. On March 20, Knut wrote to TSC calling for Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia to convene an emergency meeting to resolve pending issues.
