He claimed the dismissals were carried out without due process and without the payment of their rightful benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further disclosed that the matter was reported to the Labour Office for intervention, where, according to him, the ruling was made in favour of the affected workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Swaray stated that the Labour Office subsequently directed the management of \u2018\u2019Waka Fine\u2019\u2019 bus to compensate him and his colleagues with 24 months\u2019 salary alongside other benefits. However, he alleged that the company has refused to comply with the directive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The former supervisors are now calling on the relevant authorities to ensure that the Labour Office\u2019s ruling is enforced, stressing that justice must prevail and that workers\u2019 rights should be respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue has sparked fresh concerns over labour rights and employer compliance with labour regulations in Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018\u2018Wake Fine\u2019\u2019 Boss Defies Labour Ministry\u2019s Directive Former supervisors of \u2018\u2019Waka Fine\u2019\u2019 bus have accused the company\u2019s management of unlawfully terminating their appointments without benefits, despite a ruling from the Labour Office in their favour.
