Central Organisation of Trade Unions has threatened to move to court should salary and wages of pilots be reduced to cushion the struggling Kenya Airways.
COTU Secretary General, Francis Atwoli said what the pilots are earning was negotiated in the Collecting Bargaining Agreement.
Atwoli said gains made will not be reversed and they are prepared to defend remunerations already being enjoyed by pilots.
He said CBA is entrenched in the new constitution and reducing what has been awarded is going against the law.
“The law is there and we are waiting for that person who is going to slash salary for pilots,” he said.
Speaking on Thursday in Kisumu at Tom Mboya Labour College when he opened a certificate course in trade unionism for social justice in East Africa, Atwoli says wages are protected.
He said even international labour laws lays emphasis on the protection of wages.
Atwoli said CBA was strategically placed in the constitution to protect workers and gains they have made noting that only a referendum can repeal it.
He warned those who looted public coffers in Kenya Airways that the law shall catch up with them.
“Those people who looted Kenya Airways must be brought to book however long it may take but they must be arraigned in court,” he said.
