21. The Union did not report fraud at the time the agreement was signed. On May 21, 2018, the employer did not inform the Court that legal proceedings concerning the old-age pension were ed. 18. In fact, the Court of Justice`s decision deals with the question of whether the registration of the collective agreement should be set aside. 14. The Court considers that the employer, if it considered that there had been a misrepresentation, had had sufficient time to formally become aware of the Union and the Ministry of Labour after the signing of the agreement in March 2018. 13. The employer, which was introduced by the parties, found that the Court did not have the power to set it aside. Collective bargaining in Kenya is generally conducted either on a business or enterprise basis or as part of a multi-employer approach.
24. It is also a fact and the Court therefore finds that there was no mutual agreement that the collective agreement would be signed pending the decision of the dispute on the issue of retirement age, otherwise the Union would have presented a formal protocol from the conciliator. Under Section 60, collective agreements must be signed on the labour tribunal. The agreement is filed with the employment tribunal for registration by the employer or the employer organization, although the bid may be made by a union due to an employer failure. The labour tribunal may object to registration if the agreement is in conflict with either the law, another law, or in contradiction with the Minister`s guidelines on wages, salaries and other conditions of employment. 19. The conditions set by the law are therefore irreversible minimum conditions and, if the parties agree on more generous terms, the Court considers that such an agreement cannot be characterized as a violation of public order or illegality. 10. In requesting the cancellation of the registration of the collective agreement, the Union argued that Wasilwa J.
had issued an order on 21 March 2018 that discouraged the employer from dismissing its 57-year-old unionized workers in Nairobi. that the employer did not disclose to the Court of Justice the existence of the decision at the time of the registration of the collective agreement (it was alleged that the Union representative had been delayed in transport on the relevant day); that some of the collective agreements of the registry had not been agreed, in particular on the retirement age; that the retirement age was discriminated against, as the employer`s manual provided for executives to retire at age 60 and other workers at 57; that a conciliator had recommended that the retirement age be uniform for all categories of workers and that he sign the collective agreement until the decision of the retirement age dispute was decided. 2. The Social Service League, M.P. Shah Hospital (employers) and the Kenya Union of Domestic, Hotels, Educational Institutions and Allied Workers (Union) are social partners that have previously entered into collective agreements, the last of which expired on 1 April 2017. 27. And even if the Union had completed the review, the Court considers that the retirement age clause could be separated from the other provisions of the agreement.
