Nairobi, Feb. 18 -- The Transport Workers Union - Kenya (TAWU) has issued a 21-day strike notice to Turkish Airlines, escalating a labour row over alleged failure to conclude a collective bargaining agreement for unionised staff in Kenya.

In a letter addressed to the carrier's general manager, TAWU accused the airline of refusing to finalise the CBA, on top of persistently failing to negotiate in good faith despite extended talks and court-encouraged engagement between the parties.

The strike notice sets the stage for possible industrial action early next month should the dispute remain unresolved, potentially affecting Turkish Airlines' operations at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), one of its key gateways in East Africa.
