Kenya: 60,000 flower farm workers get 25 percent pay increase
This is after the Agricultural Employers' Association(AEA) signed officially a pending Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Central Organization of Trade Union(COTU).
Representing flower farm employers AEA Chief Executive Officer Wesley Siele said some 60,000 are the targeted beneficiaries of this new remuneration.
Siele said the two year CBA which will be expiring in July 2017 will be backdated to July 2015 when it was agreed upon.
