Christina Christopher versus Board of Progressive Islamic Education Foundation

Christina Christopher vs. Board of Progressive Islamic Education Foundation, Revision No. 16 of 2013: High Court of Tanzania (Labour Division) at Mwanza (Unreported).

• Labour Law

• Termination – Whether section 35 of the ELRA excludes employees who have worked for less than six month from the protection of unfair termination.

Held:-

The proper position is that section 35 has to be read together with section 36 of the ERA so that employees on fixed term contracts are covered under the unfair termination provisions where there is reasonable expectation of renewal.
