Following Kenya Airways proposal to take over the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), the Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU) have demanded that their bosses be sacked, failure to which, they would down their tools.
The workers have specifically demanded the sacking of Kenya Airways CEO Sebastian Mikosz and Kenya Airports Authority CEO Johnny Andersen.
“Why subject KAA to the misery that is KQ, their main issue has always been management and if that is not changed then the airline itself will collapse,” said KAWU Secretary General Moss Ndiema.
“I promise you, the aviation sector will grind to a halt come next week Wednesday if these two individuals are still working!,” he added.
The union comprises of workers from Kenya Airways, Kenya Airports Authority, Kenya Civil Aviation Authority, Trade Winds Aviation, Swiss Port Kenya and duty free shops operating from the airports.
