Industrial action has been defined as "any measure taken by trade unions to reduce productivity in the workplace." It can take the form of a strike, which is refusal to work as a form of organised protest, or a go-slow.
Kenya Airline Pilots Association (Kalpa) has threatened to go on strike. In a notice dated October 19, Kalpa has alluded to disputes with Kenya Airways (KQ) management which includes, among other issues, the withdrawal of the staff provident fund.
The Ministry of Labour recently proposed a formal consultative meeting and asked Kalpa to call off the threatened industrial action to allow for the conciliation process to proceed.
