Union wants retailer’s bosses barred from travel over pay dispute

Supermarket attendants sacked by the Kenyan subsidiary of troubled Botswana retailer Choppies want a local director and two foreign board members barred from travelling abroad until the dues of the affected workers are settled.

In a case filed last week, the workers through the Kenya Union of Commercial, Food and Allied Workers (KUCFAW) are seeking court orders barring Parin Patel and the foreigners, Ashwin Kshemendran and Mithun Gopalakrishnan, from leaving the country.
