Most of the complaints we have received(from migrant workers) are mostly about identifying which recruitment agencies are genuine. Some cases even involve trafficking- Richard Bigirwa, Secretary-General NOTU #MorningAtNTV
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Bro. Abima Stephen who has departed this life. He was Deputy SG @NotuUganda and GS @AtgwuUg he will be remembered for his kindness, strength, and the love shared with many. #MHSRIP 🕊️💔
Many Ugandan workers show up but they are on silent strike
After graduation, many find the labour market pays little more than subsistence. The gap between what was promised and what is delivered turns ambition into resignation. Most Ugandans call it life - Assoc. Prof. Mike Ibrahim Okumu (@okumuibra )- Dean School of Economics at @MakCoBAMS

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
48 hours after they were told that the company wouldn’t make any payments, over 1000 @TGIFridays workers have just been told that they will receive their wages, holiday pay and TIPS on *Tuesday*!!
This is the power of collective action and unionisation.
If TGI bosses think that this will silence our members, they have another thing coming. We shall be continuing with legal action to demand compensation for the company’s complete failure to consult their workforce.
