The workers are being greedy. Shoprite is not terminating any worker. Yet these ones want to be paid to quit. If they are all paid to quit who will then be left to do the work??

They want to be paid - not to stay and keep working o, but to leave and go to a competitor or start a biz and start competing with Shoprite!

When the new buyer takes over they will tell the staff to reapply for employment and they will start afresh.The employees understand their employer tricks.

Think about it, the workers are not being fair. They want to be paid - not to stay and keep working, but to leave and go to a competitor or start a biz and start competing with Shoprite!

SEGLIZ:

the workers are fair, first - they are no slaves, their contract is of employment and not slavery which gives them liberty to quit at any time.
secondly - what the are fighting for is their right, entitlement and benefit. at the expiration of the contract with the company they are meant or entitle to it.
don't forget that deductions were made from their wages while still in service with organisation as such they are entitled to their severance package which is the standard world over.
leaving don't mean there won't be no one to work or replace them, there are thousands of unemployed Nigerians who will joyfully replace them so why force them to stay when they felt like no more interest?
leaving for competitors in Nigeria!? I doubt that, shoprite seems about the largest mall around Nigeria more so no competitor would muscle the strength to employ everyone parting with shoprite.
on establishing a competitive mall is a fair business approach (competition is allowed) in as much Nigeria is running a capitalist economy system. if you will come to think of it this workers don't have what it takes to compete with shoprite all 'em put together.
they should be paid off that is the fairest thing that could be.

Sagay212:


The former owners must pay any outstanding they owe the workers. If they pay them off and the new investors want their service, they will hire them on fresh terms and negotiations.

Idadurun:
You just spoke without experience. Try and get wisdom. Shop rite is playing up trick to avoid them being paid-off. This is why they're taking them to the new owner. The new owner will ask them to reapply and decides who to employ and who not. Those employed could be undervalued (pay less than shoprite) and cut down many benefits. Employees could be maltreated and left to their fate while shoprite is gone.

TheRealestGuy:


Do you understand how employment laws work?

You obviously don't, so shut up.

They are supposed to be paid terminal benefits before they then sign any new contracts/terms of employment.

That is what the law says. That is how every company takeover/sale/buy must be handled.

The Head of HR has brought disgrace to Shoprite and should be asked to resign immediately.

What insolence!

tuboi:


Don’t just come online and type rubbish pls...If you’ve ever done such jobs you’ll know that once theirs a new owner, the employees will be asked to reapply with terms and conditions.The employment will be outsourced and most of them won’t get the job.....

OAUTemitayo:

You don't know what you are saying

emmnprince:


You sound insensitive. Probably you're one of the senior staff/small investor benefitting from ShopRite.

They are using the Law to their advantage. Whether they quit or not should not be your headache. Repeal or review the Law first!

It doesn't make sense to transfer workers to a new employer. The workers will just be at their mercy. Their peaceful protest is welcome.

omaclarry:


You dont get it, if the transfer is made, the new owner will ask dem to reapply, cos they worked for shoprite and shoprite is no more, so they loose all the benefits they wia entitled at shoprite and start afresh.

Their aim is since shoprite is leaving, settle us terminate our contracts pay us off. Then if the new owners advertise for employment they can apply if they wish

Shoprite is still there under new ownership.
The original owners are gone. Who they are punishing are the new owners. What they should be fighting for is a new contract with all arrears paid. Not to be paid to then leave!

Abegi, quit comparing this to your local spare part shop...
It’s a corporation. The ownership has changed, but the corporation has not.

Actually, communism isn't dead. It's springing up in the most unlikely place- USA. With clowns like AOC and Bernie Sanders capturing the hearts of spoilt Americans, you can expect it to flourish.

maximunimpact:


That's why Sanders and peeps like him will never win elections. They'll rather have a capitalist b**ch like Trump than give a communist a chance

Tayeni:
If a semi-socialist like Biden can win an election, it's not a stretch to imagine Sanders winning.
