Retail chain Uchumi Supermarkets #ticker:UCHM is yet to pay its workers May salaries, prompting the union to seek government intervention. Uchumi, which has about 1,300 employees, Tuesday confirmed the salaries delay but said it had allowed staff to access a fraction of their dues through an interest-free advance.
The delay, which also occurred last month for the April salaries, has prompted the Kenya Union of Commercial, Food and Allied Workers (Kucfaw) to write to the Labour secretary Phyllis Kandie asking for her assistance in resolving the stalemate.
