The fishermen union representing workers from more than 13 fishing companies petition the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform over outstanding employment grievances, including unpaid overtime, night-shift allowances and severance pay.

The Labour Commissioner’s Office reports that the most common complaints it receives involve disputes related to unfair dismissal, unfair labour practices, and severance pay. Serving as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism, the office aims to expedite the resolution of these labour disputes.
