Fresh dispute emerges as TSC seeks to have Kenyan school heads quit unions

TSC Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is determined to offload school heads and their deputies from union membership on the basis that they are in management and should not be unionisable.

The teachers’ employer reawakened the thorny membership issue, which unions have resisted via a memo dated November 18, which opened a new front in the row with teachers, largely over September pay and out-of-court arbitration ordered by the President.
