The Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) celebrates a landmark Employment and Labour Relations Court ruling that significantly enhances the rights of outsourced and casual workers in Kenya.

• This ruling allows outsourced workers to join trade unions and benefit from collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) in their workplaces.
• Key individuals and organizations involved include COTU, represented by its secretary general Francis Atwoli, and the Kenya Plantation and Agricultural Workers Union (KPAWU).
• The judgment ensures that outsourced workers will receive terms and conditions of service equivalent to unionised employees, preventing discrimination.
