Nairobi Airport Workers Protest Poor Conditions and Lack of Support
Thousands of passengers were stranded or delayed at Kenya’s Jomo Kenyatta Airport as a workers’ slow-down strike continued into its second day. The strike, led by the Kenya Aviation Workers’ Union, is over poor working conditions and the lack of a collective bargaining agreement with the Civil Aviation Authority. Flights were delayed by two hours or more, with some being canceled altogether. The situation was reported by various news agencies, including AFP and Reuters, and was first covered by Unknown Source.
