Holding
The termination of the grievant's employment was procedurally unfair as the Respondent did not provide the required 3 months' notice as per the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Facts
The grievant, Gilbert Ooro Owuor, was employed by East Africa Spectre Limited as a general labourer from February 2014 to 2019. The contract was not renewed upon expiry, but the grievant continued working. The grievant was terminated on 30th April, 2020, without a proper notice.
Issues
