By OUMA WANZALA More by this AuthorThe Employment and Labour Relations Court has ordered three public universities to remit union dues for lecturers and pay the cost of the case. Four others were, however, spared after they agreed to remit the union dues. SH123 MILLIONIn July last year, Uasu moved to court to compel the seven universities pay union dues and agency fees amounting to Sh123 million. Uasu Secretary-General Constantine Wasonga had argued that universities had failed to remit union dues and agency fees yet they had deducted the same from their employees. Uasu told the court that universities failure to remit union dues and agency fees is illegal, ultra vires and violated its rights under Article 41(2), (4) and (5) of the Constitution since the union was unable to engage in and administer union activities.
