These sentiments were expressed by ICU General Secretary Solomon Kotei on Wednesday during the demonstration.
Mr. Kotei charged workers to form unions at the least opportunity in order to weather some of the unfavourable measures by employers.
”In places where there are no unions, your salary reviews are not done regularly and you are treated with contempt,” he said.
“You are sacked at the will and beckon of the employer but if you have a union and a collective agreement, you are totally secured and for that matter no employer can look at you and treat you anyhow.”
