Posta employees down tools, protest alleged salary delays

A number of employees from the Postal Corporation of Kenya famously known as POSTA, has gone on strike to protest against persistent salary delays.

The General Post Office, Mombasa employees said they have grappled with five months of uncertainty and financial strain and are now demanding swift resolution and prompt payment.

The Communication Workers Union Branch Secretary, Brian Odera said that the employees had several reasons to go on strike, salary delay being the main.

“We have gone for five months without pay, we are unable to sustain ourselves, our kids have been sent out of school for fees, and some of us have already been locked out of our houses due to accumulated rent arrears,” Odera said.
