The much-anticipated clash between Public Servants Trade Unions (Pusetu) and Central Organisation of Trade Unions ( Cotu) during the 49th Labour Day celebrations failed to materialise, after security officers blocked Pusetu from accessing Uhuru Park. Police cordoned off the park ready to implement a court order that barred Pusetu from attending the fete organised Cotu. Cotu moved to court on Tuesday and obtained an injunction to go ahead with the organisation, planning and moderation of the fete without involving Pusetu and consequently restrained Pusetu from attending the celebrations. On Wednesday, Pusetu officials vowed to storm the celebrations saying the union was the most representative. To avoid this, security was beefed up in and around the park. Thursday, Pusetu dismissed claims that the union is a Government project, saying rival Cotu is the one with State backing.
