Athi River-based company has been faulted for stopping casuals from their duties till February next year without putting into considerations their interests during the time they are out of work.
Over 200 casuals who work for an Industrial company based in Athi River, Machakos County protested yesterday after they were turned down by its management when they reported to work in the morning as usual.
Led by Peter Ouma, the chairman to the casuals association, the employees condemned the management's decision to put their services to a halt until next year.
They claimed they had not been informed in advance so as to job seek elsewhere for the time they would be jobless so as to meet their obligations and daily needs which included fending for their families.
Ouma said they sensed foul play in the management revealing some of their colleagues were going on with their duties at the companies hence questioned procedures used by the industry to eliminate them.
According to him, the move was to smartly relieve them off their duties for replacements to avoid being permanently employed as per the Labour Law, given that most of them had served the company for almost five months.
He called on the government's intervention stating the victims had no where to go to hence their dependants and themselves were bound to starve for lack of credible survival sources.
