Trade unionist Mahongora Kavihuha has welcomed the International Court of Justice ruling affirming that the right to strike is protected under ILO Convention 87, describing it as a historic victory for workers worldwide. He says the decision could influence future amendments to Namibia’s Labour Act by broadening the legal scope of strikes beyond wage related disputes and strengthening workers’ rights.
