A union yesterday criticized the teachers' employer for not paying members of a rival association salary increment.

Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) said it was wrong for the teachers’ employer to exclude Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) members in the third phase of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), whose implementation began on July 1.
