Tuskys staff in Nairobi and Kisii stage demos

Tuskys employees hold demonstrations over delayed salaries

What you need to know:

  • The demos in Nairobi and Kisii are a continuation of the woes the supermarket is facing. 
  • Mid this month, tens of non-unionised workers contracted to Tuskys protested what they termed as “inhumane dismissal” and failure by the ailing retailer to make a firm commitment on their severance pay.
  • Last month, the retailer said it had signed an agreement with an undisclosed Mauritius-based fund for Sh2 billion capital injection.

Employees of Tuskys Supermarket staged protests in Nairobi and Kisii counties Wednesday morning. In the capital city, they were seen chanting while carrying placards demanding salary dues owed to them.

In Kisii, staff from two of the retailer’s branches protested termination of their contracts and three months’ unpaid salaries.
