#LabourDay. Happy May Day
On this Labour Day, it's important to recognize the struggles that workers in Kenya face. Despite the challenges, workers continue to demand better working conditions and treatment. Here are some of the general demands that workers in Kenya are making:
1. Fair wages: Many workers in Kenya face poor wages that do not reflect the cost of living. This leaves them struggling to make ends meet despite working long hours. It's important to demand fair wages that provide for basic needs. #LabourDay
2. Safe working conditions: Workers in Kenya often face unsafe working conditions that put their health and lives at risk. This includes lack of access to protective gear, inadequate training, and lack of regular safety inspections.
