“We’ve just concluded and signed the 2017-2021 CBA with universities councils that is effective July1, 2017,” Universities Academic Staff Union (Uasu) secretary general Constantine Wasonga told journalists.
Negotiations between the Uasu and universities through the Inter-Public Universities Councils Consultative Forum kicked off in January 2018.
