In the workplaces, the work force being employed by private entities and contract workers are facing various unfair labour practices and as such excluded from labour protection law. Instances of human rights abuses abound, and these have severe socioeconomic implications on atypical workers. This paper examines how atypical workers face inhuman treatment, discrimination and denial of basic labour rights and benefits in the workplace. The paper also looks at whether there is any semblance of labour protection extended to atypical workers. It is observed that such interventions have not provided strong protection for atypical workers hence they are still exposed to various labour vulnerabilities, discrimination, mistreatment, abuses and denial of benefits and socio and economic securities.
