TSC To Recall Intern Teachers’ Show Cause Letters Immediately
The Kenya National Union of Teachers announced on Thursday that it will take over the management of the labor contract conflicts involving junior secondary school intern teachers, who are currently demonstrating around the country.
All of the show-cause letters that the union recently gave to the JSS intern teachers who neglected to report for work should be recalled by the Teachers Service Commission.
Knut Secretary General Collins Oyuu asserts that the teachers are “more or less correct.” According to Oyuu, the protests and impasse between the JSS interns and their employer have an influence on millions of pupils.
On behalf of the intern teachers, he stated that the union is prepared to oversee the return-to-work agreement with the business.
According to Oyuu, intern teachers are associate members under Article III (15) of the Knut Constitution even if their employment does not allow for unionization.
Additionally, he requested that TSC create a structure to help resolve the conflict with interns in an amicable manner.
Oyuu urged all of the “demonstrating teachers to report to their work stations immediately as Knut has already taken over the case” as the interns’ strike moves into its second week.
The Knut boss said the union has space for interns in the union.
He declared, “We would not want them to be subjected to any kind of discrimination just because they don’t contribute to the union and haven’t been hired on a permanent, pensionable basis.”
According to Oyuu, the instructors are claiming that part V of the instructors Service Commission’s code of regulations is not being followed by their job terms.
According to him, instructors should work under contracts or on permanent, pensionable terms rather than as interns.
According to Oyuu, “TSC should never refer to teachers who have received training and qualification as interns.”
Oyuu claimed that he has already spoken with TSC about the issue.
Oyuu requested that TSC adhere to the 2015 Code of Regulations for instructors while hiring and employing instructors.
He advocated for a diplomatic manner to end the impasse between TSC and the interns. Oyuu added that the court is taking the situation into consideration.
In a modest tone, he advised the interns, “Agree to hand over the matter to Knut since the union has already demonstrated the interest to help find a lasting solution.”
He said that the union has long been concerned that TSC would eventually write show cause letters to the teachers in an attempt to initiate disciplinary action against them. “In actuality, these teachers have already been served,” stated Oyuu.
