Employees of Choppies Supermarket want the retailer to pay Sh25 million to 543 employees declared redundant, complicating the Botswana retailer’s exit from the Kenyan market.
According to court filings, the Kenya Union of Commercial, Food and Allied Workers (KUCFAW) further wants the Employment and Labour Relations Court to seize travel documents of Choppies’ directors to prevent them from leaving the country while the legal dispute continues.
