(PHOTO: KIBATA KIHU/ STANDARD)Unionisable tea workers will be laughing all the way to the bank after the Industrial Court awarded them a 30 per cent salary increment. The Industrial Court further ruled the workers be retired at 60 years with an option of voluntary retirement at 55 years of age. In a ruling delivered by judge Monica Mbaru yesterday, the workers will also see their gratuity pay, medical and leave allowances increase. This follows the settlement of a CBA dispute of 2014 between Kenya Plantation and Agricultural Workers Union (KPAWU) and the Kenya Tea Growers Association (KTGA).
