Phony200:
The whole casual staffing was outsourced simply to take away the responsibility from them and blame it on the supplier who i won't name. That;s the excuse.

Same with the forklift operators which is the reason why they are aso incorrigible too. I'm not saying they are bad people but a company that needs to send all casuals home when they have foreign visitors from CCHBC definitely has something to have.

I've seen people collapse, not once, not twice from the stress of debulking or sorting. Something has to be done. I agree with you that casuals have a chance at further employment that it's into contract staff roles which are nearly as bad too.

Kilode,

I can authoritatively tell you that everything I listed in my earlier post is the fact.

Can you just ask yourself how bad can Lagos be for someone to claim that he has been casual worker for the past 9 years? Even if he is selling recharge card, he will make more than 400 Naira in a day.

I passed through the same process and I can tell you that if you a prudent enough, you will still have a saves from there.

Also, you stand a chance of been employeed as a permanent staff if you have the right qualification and attitude with hard work whenever there is opportunity.

I can also authoritatively confirm to you that I knew of a Director that came into the company as casual and as at now he is a director.

Taking, Coca Cola has to do something about the take home of their contract staff, but demonizing the company will not be absolutely right.

Again, my little take on this subject.

Ismile:
One thing those guys working there did not tell you is that they are entitle to a daily meal which is even more than the pay of $2.6 they are collecting.

They are also provided with detergent for washing their uniform.

They are provided with Bus to convey them from home to work and back to their various locations

They are entitle to be treated in the clinic for minor ailment, sickness, immunization, vaccination, free medical advisories, blood pressure, sugar level etc.

And some other benefits not mentioned here.

If you add up all these benefits or using Nigeria language of monitization, you will see that it will be more than what some permanent staff are collecting in other companies with same job.

I agree that the amount looks small and needed review but, note that:

They are hired by a Labour contractor who supplied them to Coca Cola. Thus, they do not have any obligation with Cocacola but with their employer.

If they think the amount is too small, they can form a union and demand for better pay from their employer (which is the third party labour contractor). The Labour contractor will in turn discuss it over with Coca Cola and the issue will be resolved.

If they are not satisfied with the resolution, they can simply quit.

Just the little I know on this issue.

Work at your own risk
As casual staff, they are not provided with the required safety gear, thus remaining exposed to work-related dangers, and are also paid lesser than their colleagues with permanent appointments.

Showing a deep scar which he claimed to have sustained at work, Mr Emoga said the company had refused to take any responsibility for it."The company said it was not their business since casual workers are not entitled to any health policy, so at the end of the day, I treated it myself, and yet, they refuse to provide us with safety gears," he said.

However, employee who wanted anonymity said engaging the casual workers through a third party removed some of the responsibilities, including the provision of safety gear, from his employer

The official said, "The third party has stated on their (workers') contract to come with covered shoes because we realized that when we used to engage them directly, some would take some of these things and refuse to show up for work again.

In 2007, this was the same trend of unjustifiable figures that did not match normal voting patterns that discredited the election. What, then, is the fundamental difference between both elections? Yet we are told one was the worst and the other the freest and fairest. This is nothing but a joke.

4llerbuntu:
you folks are missing the point.
the scam in nigeria is not merely the prices, its the total package itself, Qos especially.

when you say u pay 24 dollars or pounds for broadband abroad, u need to realise 95% internet users in nigeris have never seen broadband speed in their lives yet they pay more than u do.
i stand to be corrected but the highest speed in nigeria is 3g which is just being introduced by a few like swift. hitherto we have peeps like mtn with 384 kbps SHARED. thus when a naija guy creams his pants over speed he probably just clocked 150 kbps for ten secs.

add this to 50 percent downtime, you begin to get the picture. so wen we complain about the prices etc, PLS STOP DEMONSTRATING your MUMU BY TRYING TO JUSTIFY IT.

there is no excuse for selling people third rate internet at first rate prices.

oh and i forgot, data caps, time limits. like that fellow proudly advertising his starcomms 6500, he forgot to add he has just 100 hrs usage. thats about 4 days 24/7 usage. so u can be sure he rations his time in the net.
and the 16k glo plan is limited to 18gb of data, u dare not stream.

anyway, believe it or not, internet is still regarded as a luxury hereabouts. pity

buzugee:
guys, see when i am amazed at the price of things in naija including internet, i also leverage it against the wages and economic situation of naija. and when you look at it wholesomely. . . i guess my conclusion to the whole saga is that america and nigeria are 2 extremely capitalistic nations in which the govt colludes with big business to rip off its citizens.

almost 72 percent never attempted school at all in Borno State, compared with less than 3 percent in most of the states in the southern zones.

Ibime:
$2.60 is a good wage by most underdeveloped country's standards.

It is the cost of living in Nigeria which makes $2.60 a problem.

Kobojunkie:
Inexcusable by whose standard? Yours, or the Nigerian Government's?

Coca-Cola HBC Offers to Buy Rest of Nigeria Bottling

By Paul Tugwell - Dec 14, 2010 10:01 AM CT Tweet inShare0More
Business Exchange Buzz up! Digg Print Email Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Co. SA, the world’s second-largest bottler of Coke drinks, is offering 94 million euros ($125.8 million) to take full control of the Nigerian Bottling Company plc, or NBC.

Coca-Cola HBC, which has a 66.4 percent stake in NBC, is offering the other holders the money to cancel their shareholding in the Nigerian bottler, Athens-based Coca-Cola HBC said today in an e-mailed statement.

If approved by NBC’s other shareholders, the transaction will take place during the second quarter of 2011 and NBC would be delisted from the Nigerian Stock Exchange, according to the statement.

The proposed move will result in cost savings, reduce complexity and allow NBC to fully use the financial strength and resources of its parent, Coca-Cola HBC said.

The volume of cases shipped by Coca-Cola HBC rose 5 percent to 610.5 million euros in the third-quarter reflecting “strong volume performance” in “key markets” such as Nigeria, the company said Oct. 27.
