Dispute resolution processes offer a collective bargaining resource to the interested parties and strengthen social partnerships. A study carried out by the University of Nairobi notes that trade unions have, however, fallen short of achieving their set objectives due to external and internal challenges. A census survey design was used, primary data was collected, and 32 out of 40 trade unions responded to the questionnaire. Besides, 323,994 teachers on TSC payroll have been seriously affected by the ongoing row between the union and the employer, causing teachers’ performance in classrooms to plummet.
