Strike over labour dispute grounds flights at Kenya's main airport
INTERNATIONAL - A strike over a labour dispute disrupted flights at Kenya's
main international airport in Nairobi early on Wednesday, Kenya Airports Au-
thority said, though the transport minister expected them to resume soon. Hun-
dreds of passengers were waiting outside the international and domestic termi-
nals and riot police dispersed picketing ground staff, a Reuters witness said,
adding that three planes took off at about 05:30 GMT despite the strike..
Transport Minister James Macharia said replacement staff had been found to
screen passengers and luggage.
The strike at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport follows a labour dispute over
contracts and job security between the Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU)
and Kenya Airways.
