Exxon Mobil Headquarters Shut Down by MendeZ(m): 8:04pm On Dec 15, 2016 |
ExxonMobil headquarters shut ON DECEMBER 15, 20166:19 PMIN NEWSCOMMENTS The Lagos headquarters of U.S. oil major, ExxonMobil has been shut, following a standoff with blue-collar oil unions over the sacking of 150 workers. Members of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) besieged the office of the oil giant, protesting the sacking of Nigerian workers. The standoff is coming on the heels of a similar development on Wednesday in Upkenekang Community in Akwa Ibom, where angry youths disrupting the operations of the company over the sacking of contract workers from the area. The protesters, numbering over 1,000, barricaded entry points to the company with boats, coffins, leaves and placards, having different inscriptions. The Chairman of the ExxonMobil Branch of PENGASAN, Mr Paul Eboigbe, confirmed the closure of the company’s Lagos office. He told newsmen that the management of the company went ahead to issue sack letters to worker, while negotiations were still going on. He said the union had to resist the action of the management and went ahead to shut down the Exxonmobil headquarters. Eboigbe directed the company’s workers at offshore locations to shut down rigs. The unionist said the company’s management disregarded laid down procedures and humiliated workers by serving them sack letters when all avenues to achieve a peaceful resolution were yet to be explored. The South-West Branch Chairman of PENGASSAN, Alhaji Tokunbo Korodo, said that picketing of ExxonMobil office was also being carried out by members of the union. Korodo noted that the picketing was as a result of the anti-labour practices of the company. He urged the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity to take up the anti-labour practices of International Oil Companies (IOCs), operating in Nigeria. Korodo disclosed that the national body of the union had said that its members would embark on strike after the New Year holidays, if nothing was done to resolve the situation. “This is just the beginning of our strike against injustice against our members working with IOCs. “Our members now wear red clothes and put leaves on their trucks to show the injustice by these people. “We have resolved to commence strike next year if government does not find a solution to the exploitation by IOCs,” he said. The Manager, Media and Communications of ExxonMobil, Mr Oge Udeagha, said the company was always evaluating its operations. “We invest for the long-term and focus on maintaining a stable, well-developed workforce and are committed to treating our employees with respect in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. “This is a limited programme that will impact a relatively small fraction of employees,’’ he said of the disengaged workers. “Special benefits specifically introduced for this purpose will be paid to affected employees, consistent with existing labour agreements. “The company is also arranging special programme to support the transition from the company for those affected. “We respect the rights of our workforce and will continue to engage with them to resolve this situation,’’ Udeagha said Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/12/exxonmobil-headquarters-shut/ |

What we are seeing now is not just because of GEJ past regime failure to better our lots as Buhari and his Cohorts would want us to believe. Is becoming obviously obvious that Buhari is incapable of checkmating the worsening situation of our economy. I think is time we stopped supporting this regime blindly and come out to challenge them 2 Likes |

These IOCs should ensure they finalize negotiations with these unions before issuing sack letters. These oil facility shutdown will not affect the IOCs alone but the country as well. The relevant ministries who are meant to intervene would stay mute as usual. I also heard they were employing more oyibo expats while sacking national personnel. And to even think that crude is at about $60/ barrel now compared to the $30+/ barrel about a year ago begs the question for further sack. This un-negotiated sack would never happen in their home country where labour law strictly applies.. 1 Like |
