Dock workers sign new salary agreement with ports authority

हिंदी

The Dock Workers Union has signed a collective bargaining agreement with the Kenya Ports Authority to raise pay and benefits for more than 5,000 workers at Mombasa port.

The agreement covering 2024 to 2027 ends more than two years of talks. Workers in grade 8 will receive basic monthly pay between Sh92,975 and Sh127,130.

It includes higher transport allowances and back payments of salary increments dating from 2024. Dock Workers Union General Secretary Sulman Owuor said the deal will improve worker welfare while keeping port operations stable.

Housing benefits stay unchanged while grade 9 staff receive Sh20,000 and grade 10 staff receive Sh15,000 in monthly transport allowances.
