Abstract
Collective bargaining agreements have been the cornerstone of settling industrial disputes within the public and the private
domain. The public sector is expected to be vital in helping support consistent service delivery through government
agreements with various actors. Lack of effective collective bargaining agreements between the Teachers Service Commission
and Teachers Unions has not received much empirical attention despite the increased strikes within the education sector. This
created an empirical gap that this study sought to solve by examining the effect of metaphors on the collective bargaining
agreement between the teachers’ unions and the Teachers Service Commission. The study was grounded on the group theory
and the institutionalism theory. The research employed a pragmatic research philosophy with descriptive study design. The
population of the study was 226 participants drawn from Kenya National Union of Teachers officials, Kenya Union of PostPrimary Education Teachers officials, and Teachers Service Commission executive council. The study employed random
sampling technique to draw 144 respondents who were selected from the sample set. The study used a mixed research
methodology with structured questionnaires and an interview schedule being used in the data collection. The findings noted an
insignificant correlation between metaphors and collective bargaining agreement. Findings led to the conclusion that
metaphors 2.3% do not have an influence on the collective bargaining agreement between TSC and the Unions.
