LOL... Check out the recruitment ad Pg 7 in Saturday's Daily Nation...

Jobs open to ALL East Africans so those feeling moto-moto at the unions in Nairobi better be worried!

was it not 2 years ago that kq employees went on strike, were fired then restated with salary increments? Kq should have a policy of continuos training of ground and air crew. They should also employ crew on renewable shorter time contracts maybe 3-5 yrs. This way the more expensive and complacent staff can be let go and transition will be smooth.

Any one who has a feeling of rates paid by Airlines in Africa such Ethiopian, SA, Egyptair? Are the crews in KQ so underpaid as to be stricking perrenially?

Trade Unionism is NOT about pay but power... The USA auto workers are & were very highly paid... lakini the brought the industry down by imposing lousy/lazy work roles...

VVS that was my point on trade unions in US and UK.

My querry on crews pay working for African Airlines was so as to get a feeling of whether the KQ guys have a point to make if they so underpaid as opposed to their peers.

Daily ads for jobs at KQ. The union wants to paralyze entire aviation industry... The good news for KQ is that is what causes hatred for unions...

When people got fed up of strikes staged by unions in UK... the downfall of unions started... Jobs were lost & never recovered...
