Kenyan tea workers strike of 2007 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Kenyan tea workers strike of 2007 The Kenyan tea workers strike of 2007 was a strike action undertaken by members of the Kenya Plantation and Agricultural Workers Union (KPAWU) against Unilever Tea Kenya Ltd (UTK) over a wage increase. It took place in the Kericho region of Kenya and involved an estimated 10,000 workers from eighteen tea plantations.〔World Socialist Web Site 2007, ('Workers Struggles: Europe & Africa' ), ''www.wsws.org'', 14 September. Retrieved on 10 September 2008.〕 The strike began on 8 September 2007〔Olende, K. 2007, ('Kenyan strike shows trouble brewing for tea giants' ), ''Socialist Worker'', 18 September. Retrieved on 10 September 2008.〕 and ended on 14 September 2007 when UTK agreed to pay an 8% wage increase.〔BusinessWeek n.d., ('Unilever Tea Kenya Ltd: Private company information' ), ''BusinessWeek''. Retrieved on 10 September 2008.〕 ==Background== A 16% wage increase for tea plantation workers was agreed to in 2006 through a process of collective bargaining between the KPAWU and employers in the Kenyan tea industry, including UTK. By September 2007, the wage agreement had been implemented by other multinational companies, but not by UTK, which argued that wages in Kenya were already higher than in other tea-producing countries in Africa.〔〔 The KPAWU announced that it would take legal action against UTK unless the wage increase was implemented by 20 September 2007.〔
