NEWUYA initiated industrial action over a month ago due to the employer's persistent failure to implement wage adjustments agreed upon in April 2021.

More than a hundred employees at the African beer manufacturing company have joined the strike, leading to notable reductions in production volumes in recent weeks and mounting pressure on the company.
