In May 2017, a former employee of the Bidco Oil Refineries Limited lodged a complaint with CAO, claiming to represent more than 480 other former employees (the complainants). The complainants allege that their contracts were unfairly terminated in response to their demand to receive overdue benefits, including leave allowance accrued during their employment. The workers also claimed working under poor conditions while employed at the clients facilities. They also claimed the client prevented them from joining a trade union.
