Over the sale of 25 Shoprite outlets in Nigeria, workers of Shoprite Nigeria has embarked on an industrial action.
According to a report from Foundation for Investigative Journalism, “the contract papers signed by staff show that many of them were to work with Shoprite South Africa until between 2035 and 2040.
“But with the current management set to exit in June, the staff demanded to be paid off rather than run the risk of sack after they’re transferred to a new Nigerian company — a demand Shoprite has been uninterested in.”
