Quite sad it has come to this. But again students in private schools get an "unfair advantage"

The short term solution is to enrol our kids in good private schools.
The long term solution is to pray for this bunch of unionists to stop blackmailing everybody.
If all civil servants take this route, the country kenya will go the Kenya airways route. Someone stop this unnecessary agitation. If i was their employer which i am not, i will not pay them for any day they are striking.

For the interested ones, this is the TSC Salary Scale from October 2012.

Download it: Only 340kb in size.

Download here

Basic salary: P2 teacher ~ 14520 up to Chief principal ~ 109089

Add allowances (hardship, responsibility, special school, boarding school, streams etc) to that then less taxes.

And 3 months a year on leave.

Teachers are the best paid civil servants! No wonder banks give them loans so easily. If GOK declines to pay them for a couple of months, banks would makes losses.

the strike is just an avenue to get more leave days, they will be away from work for like 2-4 weeks, still get paid for that and get the normal 3 months leave + weekends and to top it up no targets or work performance review.

The Indutrial court has orderd teachers to resume work by 90am tomorrow. Labour ministry ordered to lead the negotiatins and report back to the court on 15th July, 2013!!!!

What will give????
