Dispute between employees and
employers has forced KFC and Pizza Hut to close its outlet for indefinite time,
when the government is planning to announce Nepal Investment Year to attract
foreign investment in the country.
The management has closed the outlet
blaming the workers that they manhandled the human resource manager Krishna
Prasad Sharma yesterday, said All Nepal Revolutionary Hotel and Restaurent
Workers Association vice chairman Tika Subedi, who is associated to the
CPN-Maoist led by Mohan Baidhya 'Kiran'.
The employees were in the process
of registering the union at the Labour office at Teku since last week, he said,
adding that the management has alleged the union of manhandling and closed
down the eatery unilaterally to avert the registering of union.
