Lol my company sacked everybody that went on strike that was induced by the union body,and told everyone they are free to reapply,but have to write an undertaking that that they will not be joining the union again,that's how the union died a natural death.

Antoeni:
What is This Alhaji Aliko Dangote Feeling Like Self ?

gbegemaster:
His company does not exists in space. He has no right to stop workers from joining the Union according to the Law.

That is why he has accused them of sabotage which in itself is a mistake and can be challenged in the industrial court.

adamkkk:

Hi... I'm naive and wishing to learn.
Why are companies scared of unions for their workers which is meant to protect their interests?

This is very interesting. Unionism either die a natural death or continue to exist as a means to siphon resources from the people.
There are many things that will be tested as Nigeria 🇳🇬 gradually head to a possible better future.

Hightablevoice2:
Unionism even though has its benefits but it's more glaring that it's like a club whose main intentions has always been a way to wield unnecessary power over an organization that treats you right to start with. It is a shallow move. And any reasonable organic corporate body warns against it... But either way, they will either get a deal with this or perish. Unionism is a big no no in a growing economy... And I think this will even be a good incentive for employers to have a good clause before recruitment in their contract or company policy.. Joining union.. nonsense..like they are not already gainfully employed already.. Dem belle full.. Dem deh find beku beku up and down

sorosoke101:
Can you imagine instead of them to hold their job with all their heart, they went ahead to join pegassan and me dey find job for the past 5yrs to no avail.

Person pack indians full for im company, you think say na play? That Dangote man is very cunning. He knows how to run the perfect monopoly. He only puts indians in top positions so he can easily dismiss them without drama when they fall out of line.

Nigerians are always at lower positions where they are weaker and at his mercy. Meanwhile, the government, regulators, and judges who are supposed to ensure he follows rules and processes look the other way.

Meanwhile, Dangote's Nairaland media crew will soon overtake the thread.

Dangote is really on a dangerous part.....


This man wants full monopoly on oil and gas in Nigeria. And most people ain't seeing it that way.


See union has to be formed. The government should call Dangote to other

PENGASSAN should leave Dangote alone. The Dangote Refinery is a private business, not a union-run venture. Instead of targeting him, focus on the government-owned refineries under your members’ management — most of which are non-functional.

If PENGASSAN truly wants to make an impact, push the government to revive Nigeria’s refineries. Ordinary citizens gain nothing from endless strikes; they only enrich union leaders while making life harder for the people. Nigerians need solutions, not distractions.

Rolings:
This is not good news , the unions will fight back and its the masses that will suffer most

chidiokay:
Life is not hard we Human just make it hard, A Employer gave his term n condition if you as an employee dont like it exist or Avoid the company

Unilorin pull out of ASUU, my lecturers were never under any union Industrial coourt no see that one
Not if your terms and conditions contravenes the country's Labour law. Abi na your own laws you go use set up your own company? Labour laws are backed by Labour Acts in the Nigerian constitution and as so companies should adhere to it...be it private or whatever

i will build a company invest billions then one court will tell me i dont have Right to take decisions i feel is best to protect my investment ... dey play

Breaking news:

Reports currently circulating indicate that Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE, Lagos has allegedly sacked all its local staff following a wave of unionization, with over 90% of the workforce said to have joined PENGASSAN (Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria).

This development has sparked widespread reactions, as many fear the move could trigger industrial unrest and escalate labor tensions within the company and across the oil and gas sector.

Dangote Sacks ‘All’ Nigerian Employees For Joining PENGASSAN


Social Media influencer, Imran U. Wakili (PULLO) shared this:



https://x.com/IU_Wakilii/status/1971327520894292219?t=3A7ameIlOmxuVRkR7qXJNQ&s=08[/quote]Where was it quoted in the letter that he sacked them because of them joining Union. These private Company owners do know how to circumvent the law though. The only way Dangote can be held in this regard would be if there is valid evidence either by letter or audio from a top ranking executive or from Dangote himself there is no leverage for PENGASSAN to take action.
His tanker drivers are not in NUPENG, neither are his senior officers in PENGASSAN. So any strike would only favour him, as it grounds his competitors while his Refinery flourish. His competitors here would be those importing petrol as they are in the oil workers union.
