Atwoli hails court ruling on outsourced workers’ rights

COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli has hailed the Employment and Labour Relations Court ruling on outsourced workers as a landmark victory for workers’ rights. Atwoli said the court affirmed that casual or outsourced labourers working in organizations with collective bargaining agreements are entitled to comparable pay and benefits. He added that the ruling also upholds their constitutional right to join trade unions and enjoy union representation, regardless of their employment arrangement.
