Holding

The dismissal was not wrongful and the claimants are not entitled to the reliefs sought

Facts

The claimants were employed by the respondent, a government parastatal, and were members of KUCFAW, a union with whom the respondent had a Recognition Agreement and a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) from 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2007. The claimants were terminated on 6 June 2008 due to a loss of 680 bags of wheat at the Narok silos depot.

Issues

  1. Whether the dismissal was wrongful and/or unlawful
  2. Whether the claimants are entitled to the reliefs sought

Reasoning

The claimants were unionised and had a Recognition Agreement and CBA with the respondent. The dispute was handled by the Minister pursuant to the Labour Relations Act and Employment Act. The claimants did not report the dispute to the Minister, and the Conciliator's report is not available.
