The Geothermal Development Company (GDC) has urged a Nairobi court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by 62 of its employees, arguing they are seeking to retain union benefits while enjoying management perks.

• GDC claims the employees, redesignated from unionisable staff to management, are pushing a "selfish agenda."
• The employees accuse GDC of unfair labor practices and discrimination, claiming their redesignation stripped them of allowances.
• The dispute revolves around benefits like overtime pay, medical schemes, and hardship allowances, with GDC asserting global human resource practices for management staff and adherence to Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) directives.
