Kenya - Violations in EPZ

In January 2014, the company “New Wide Garments” which operates in the EPZ and employs more than 6,000 workers stopped deducing union dues in violation of a valid collective agreement. Even though the court ordered the company to comply with the collective agreement, the union did not receive dues for the month of December. Furthermore, management stopped paying workers during sick leave and failed to compensate workers for employment injuries and overtime work. As a result, workers decided to call a strike action.
