The Employment and Labour Relations Court in Nairobi has stopped Speedaf Logistics Limited from declaring some of its employees, including courier officers, riders and drivers, redundant.

This is pending the hearing of a case filed by the Communication Workers Union of Kenya (CWU), which accuses the courier and delivery services company of using mass layoffs disguised as restructuring to thwart unionisation efforts.
