The Kenyan subsidiary of British consumer goods giant Unilever Plc has embarked on a massive layoffs plan targeting 11,000 employees, the workers’ union said as it announced a major battle with the company.
Kericho-based Unilever Tea, which has 16,000 employees, said the layoffs are in line with a reorganisation plan that aims to make the third largest tea company in the world “agile” in a changing business environment.
