Good for MTN. Very exploitative organisation. Contracts staff work for 10-13 years of hard labour, even work more than the permanent staff, yet no conversion of status to permanent status.
A lot of injustice done to staff and contract staffs all in the name of no union allowed. They are now claiming they did not discourage staff from joining union, whereas they know that they have strict policies forbidding staff from joining or forming unions. Useless organisation. I worked there for years. At a particular time, MTN Nig.formed an outsourcing firm to take care of call center staffs welfare in MTN, all pensions and taxes were deducted from these staffs salaries, but were never remitted to the pension company. aside that, there were no medicals extended to staff family members. When the company was wound up, all the pension claims by these staffs were forfeited cos no union to fight for the staffs. On another occasion MTN contract staffs at the call centers were suddenly outsourced to an Indian slave driver firm called ISON BPO international who tells the staffs they would only pay N45,000 against N100,000 plus paid by MTN. The sad part is that MTN never intervened on this poor payment by their contractors forcing all the staffs to resign in their thousands. This is just few of the many injustices to staff. All these because u are not allowed to belong to unions as a staff. Stupid injustice!!!! That serves u well MTN.

Abeyjide:


there are some called management staff that are nigerians, they are being paid well in order to enforce the harsh condition of work on the contracted staffs. these are the people resisting the NLC and they are just 5% of their staffs.

It's the role of government to enact and enforce laws to benefit its citizenry. It's not up to a profit-making company to charitably hire more people than it needs to. If they could run with only 1 worker in Nigeria, they would, and there's nothing wrong with that. After all isn't MTN paying taxes (and or fines) that are supposed to benefit Nigeria? Aren't they providing much-needed infrastructure that other Nigerian elites are refusing to provide? Please direct your anger to Nigeria's leadership, not to South African business shareholders.

Irrelevant question. Its a contract. If it doesn't suit you there are always options. You cannot dictate to your employer what he should pay from his earnings.

The government as a regulator can only fix a basic minimum wage.

But you as an employee have the privilege of choosing whom to work for and that is indeed fair enough.

ifymadu:
Ok, let me break it down. If MTN feels it needs a presence in say Lokoja, it invites business men and women for screening and the basic requirement is that you have a space. Either personal building or rented, all MTN does is to tell you the spec of the building. When you get it, MTN comes in to design and paint with its color, provide connectivity to the network and other technical support. The owner of the franchise will then employ his or her staffs, provide power and run the place. MTN supplies you products at a given price and you mark up (controlled mark up) and resell to customers. You are also paid on services rendered and other commissions. It is the franchise owner that interview, employ and pay his/her staffs based on individual agreements. MTN does not run overhead (salaries inclusive) for franchise owners

Mtn cannot attempt 1% of the rubbish they are doing here in Nigeria in south Africa. How can you outsource 80% of your employment slots in a multinational making billions from the said country daily? And thats why Workers can be dropped at will since its a contract job with little or no regulation from the Labour ministry

PearlStreet:
What did the South African government do when Nigerian businesses were attacked in South Africa?

South African businesses should be dealt with exactly the same way Nigerian businesses are being treated in SA.

NLC is protesting against the slavery of Nigerians by MTN by paying them stipends while they work all day long and you are here writing this. Sometimes, when I come across comments like this you own, I just arrive at the conclusion that foolishness is self inflicted
