229 workers retrenched at Pick n Pay

Pick n Pay retrenched 229 workers on Wednesday.It follows after Pick n Pay, a subsidiary of the Ohlthaver & List Group, on 16 June announced that approximately 500 employees’ employment would be terminated a month later due to unfavourable trading conditions.The managing director of Pick n Pay, Graeme Mouton, in a statement this afternoon said the company subsequently entered into negotiations with the Namibia Food and Allied Workers Union (Nafau).“On 3 August 2020, we started conciliation proceedings with the union at the Office of the Labour Commissioner before the conciliator, following the referral of a dispute which was lodged by the union at the Office of the Labour Commissioner on 10 July 2020. “The dispute was not resolved by the conciliator and subsequently resulted in the company implementing collective terminations, effective 12 August 2020, in line with the provisions of the Labour Act, with reference to severance pay, accrued leave pay-out and pension fund benefits,” Mouton said.“We are saddened that the current economic situation has necessitated this restructure. With a heavy heart we would like to thank all our employees for their services rendered to Pick n Pay Namibia as we bid them farewell and wish them all the best in their future endeavours,” he said.
