Employers

Uganda is a law abiding state which has ratified many international standards e.g. ILO conventions, treaties and domesticated them by enacting local laws including labour Laws. An employer to be considered law abiding and compliant should among other things allow workers to exercise their freedom of association by joining a labour union of their choice, right to representation and collective bargaining as stipulated under article 29(1) and 40(3) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, 1995 as amended 2018.
