"Court stops Nestle retrenchment over discrimination suit"

Nestle has suffered a blow after a court suspended the lay off of 46 employees following their petition claiming the firm discriminated against them. Justice Mathews Nduma Nderi has restrained the consumer goods manufacturer from effecting a redundancy notice that was set to send the 46 senior and junior workers packing. The judge issued the orders after a warehouse supervisor, Mr Joseph Kamau, claimed the sacked employees were discriminated against on the basis of race, colour and nationality.
