The Employment and Labor Relations Court dismissed his attempt to save his position as a teacher within the corridors of justice after a similar attempt in 2019 flopped.
The decision by Justice Stephen Radido is a blow for a man who has been at the helm of the teachers union since 2016 and had already started plans for Knut national elections.
It, however, remains to be seen whether the latest judgement is the end of Sossion’s bittersweet career after years of a frosty relationship between the Knut and Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
