Kampala lord mayor Erias Lukwago has ordered the closure of a Chinese Company for two days following a strike by the workers over poor working conditions.
Over 400 workers of China Railway Seventh Group Co Ltd located along Gayaza road at Kyebando this morning laid down the tools accusing their employers of sexual harassment, poor pay, giving them unpaid leave and not proving safety gear among other allegations.
They also accuse their supervisors of only paying those who give in to intimate relationships while those who decline are dismissed, claims that could not be independently verified as management remains tight-lipped.
However, after a closed door meeting between management and Kampala Capital City Authority leaders led by Lukwago, it has been resolved that the said grievances be addressed with urgency or the company license will be revoked.
