As shown in table 13b above, the highest level of dissatisfaction, 52.5% of respondents is in oil and gas sector. For banking, it is 31%. For both sectors it is a huge deficit as we are talking of more than half and almost a third of respondents respectively. However, it should be noted that the female respondents indicate a relatively higher level of satisfaction with the observance of their rights by employers(see table 13c above). This is perhaps an indication of the perception of the question of rights, and how the two groups relate to it, at work. Respondents were also asked to mention examples or instances of non-observance of the rights they lay claim to. We got only 158 responses on this. As indicated in table 14a below, late payment of salaries and allowances is the most frequently mentioned with 58 responses, followed by arbitrariness on the part of management with 42 responses while late working hours/ forced resignation placed third jointly with 14 responses. Sexual harassment was mentioned 6 times and non-unionisation came up for mention four times.
