[TECHCRUNCH] Meta negotiations with moderators in Kenya over labor dispute collapse
The court was briefed on the outcome of the mediation today, coming after it allowed the parties to settle the case out of court in August.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The moderators claim that Meta and Sama failed to issue them with redundancy notices per the Kenyan law, and that their terminal dues were hinged on signing non-disclosure agreements.
They are also suing Majorel, Meta’s other content moderation partner in Africa, for alleged discrimination.
The moderators seek compensation for the “distress caused,” and for Sama to reverse the redundancy notice.
Sama has in the past maintained that it adhered to Kenya’s labor laws while conducting the layoffs.
Meta and Sama have also been sued by Daniel Motaung, a South African, for labor and human trafficking, unfair labor relations, union busting and failure to provide “adequate” mental health and psychosocial support.
Motaung alleges he was laid off for organizing a 2019 strike and trying to unionize Sama’s employees.
