The Geothermal Development Company (GDC) is facing allegations of unconstitutional, unlawful, discriminatory, and unfair labour practices.
A letter from lawyer Morris Kimuli indicates that some employees, who have been with the company for between 10 and 15 years, are complaining about poor working conditions, denied benefits, and harmful company policies.
They claim these policies are designed to humiliate, suppress, and degrade them, and that their attempts to seek peaceful solutions have either been ignored or left unaddressed. "The company has, instead of addressing these genuine grievances, resorted to silence and, at times, issued express, implied, and subtle threats to those advocating for better working conditions," the letter states.
The employees have formally raised their concerns, documented their grievances, and requested meetings with management to find resolutions.
