Security firm workers strike threat

Kenya: Over 50 employees of a security firm have threatened to go on strike over poor pay and unfavourable working conditions.

Speaking to journalists in Nairobi, Wells Fargo technicians accused their employers of failing to address their plight.

"We have always presented our requests and complaints about low payment to the management but they don't care about our welfare. Most of the employees in this company suffer but they can't speak out for fear of victimisation," said their representative George Oriko.

"All of us are diploma holders and above. But none of us is paid more than Sh25,000. This is an abuse and it is demotivating," he added.
