Nigerian workers at U.S. oil major ExxonMobil
Corp. have gone on strike in protest over the sacking of workers, oil
labor union officials said on May 11.
Nigerian labor unions have criticized oil companies for sacking workers in the last few months and held a number of strikes.
Abel
Agarin, who chairs the Lagos zone of the Petroleum and Natural Gas
Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), said members of his
union were on strike in protest at the sacking of 150 workers in
December. He said 82 were PENGASSAN members.
“We
want them to be brought back and if that is not possible we want a
proper severance package for them,” said Agarin, who led around 50
protesters in the commercial capital.
PENGASSAN said strikes were being held in Lagos, Bonny, Akwa Ibom and Port Harcourt.
