It involved a structured questionnaire with 102 randomly selected respondents from 52 filling stations (31 from city center and 21 outside the city) and interviews with two officials from TAMICO as well as review of official documents including action plans. Questionnaire data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 software plus manual examination of statistical outputs. Data from interviews and documentary sources were analyzed using thematic and content analysis methods. The findings revealed that, majority of the workers experienced employment security challenges in their workplaces. Majority of respondents felt that their security of employment was either very low or low. The key employment security challenges include fear of losing job, limited employers’ concern for employees’ livelihood, threats of being fired, lower wages, and absence (or unclear) contractual employment terms. Gender and the duration that the workers had worked for the filling station were the only demographic factors that were significantly associated with variation in perceptions of employment security. Overall, employees felt that TAMICO has very low contribution to the promotion of their employment security, mainly due to absence of TAMICO operations in most of the work places. The strategies that TAMICO used to promote employment security were pioneering, monitoring, educational, and networking where more preference was shifting to networking. Resources paucity, the nature of the target clientele, management capacity, and the dilemma of legitimacy were the main challenges to TAMICO. The study concludes by emphasizing the need to look at the problem of employment security as multiphase and thus requires a broad focus on employees, employment conditions, and trade union dimensions. Among others, the study recommends for capacity building for the workers and employers, implementation of workplace monitoring policy measures, and a collaborative partnership model in the promotion of employment security.
