South-African retailer Shoprite is facing increased staff costs after it signed a memorandum of understanding with Kenya Union of Commercial Food and Allied Workers (Kucfaw), setting the stage for negotiations on staff remuneration.

Shoprite, which currently runs three branches locally with plans to open more, and Kucfaw signed the MoU on Thursday last week in a deal that will see its workers join employees of retailers like Chandarana and Tuskys that are under the union.
