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

brain54:
Well they are also labor laws...

And these workers also have an employment contract.

It's not simple a matter of "exiting" if not satisfied. It's a matter of legal rights.


The worker has certain rights due him just as the employer has rights.

That's why they is the judiciary to settle such issues.

To me personally, workers joining a legal association that isn't proscribed by law is their legal rights and as long as the association isn't a threat to company's business they have a right to belong.

I think it's oppressive and discrimination if dangote lays them off for wanting to exercise their rights.

Anyway that's why we have courts to interpret and give judgment in cases of dispute like this!

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.

So what happens to industrial court? Complete with remaining characters

Chukwudi4naija:
Union ontop someone's company. Unionism is devilish in all angles.

Once you sign a contract, you are binded by the content of what you signed. you do not have any other rights outside those terms and conditions which you signed.

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]Kudos to dangote. Private companies hardly belong to unions in conjunction with Govt workers, e.g. Private university lecturers are not part of ASUU and also private teachers in primary and secondary schools are not part of NUT. Forcing union down the throat of dangote is to frustrte his company.

Timeks:
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.

galantjoe:
Dangote is tasting the mulky water of unionism. aluta continua; victoria aceta.

Dangote cannot monopolise Nigeria oil sector the same way he monopolizes cement industry.

His company His Rules ... Nupeng and FG should employ them

unite4real:
well, the letter did not mention PENGASSAN.

so why connecting it.

Ok.

Even if that was the case he has the right to engage and disengage.

If i were him sef, the earlier he do away with those guys with the mentality of sabotaging the oil industry the better.

This is for the good of the masses.

NUPENG and PENGASSAN are cult that slow the industry 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.

Rolings:
So his workers don't deserve to have rights protected by Nigerian laws?
If he is allowed to have his way he will just wake up one day and sack everyone and nothing will happen.... Then folks like you will be blaming government for not providing jobs

princeade86:
so why did they joined ASUU back? U think if there is no union in this country to challenge these people, u will enjoy ur work? Nigeria rich and government are whicked when it comes to employees. They can allow u to work under dhuress and get peanut.

chidiokay:
You keep saying worker have this Workers have that ... Right is not only attributable to workers

I believe workers rights are subservent to Employers term and Conditions, you cant approach university of ilorin and start claiming right to join ASUU it doesnt work that way
Every player has Right, therefore Organisation have right to be under union or Not, the decision promulgates options workers have

You cant talk about right before " OPTIONS " .. No one is dusputing you have right But Nigerians fail to know where your Right stops where some else Right starts
where your freedom/right infringes others right or terms n conditions .. it becomes invalid


Maybe if naa foreign union i for dey support unionism But Naija union naa see finish ... Atenu, gluttons

hotseat:
After a careful analysis and forensic scrutiny, Dangote is not a monopolist as generally perceived after all.

Firstly - cement production: apart from Dangote Cement Plc, there are others namely: Bua Cement Plc, and Lafarge Cement Plc who are the major players in the cement industry.

Other players include: IBETO Group, Mangal Industries Ltd, and Mandugu Cement.

This also applies to other sectors where Dangote is involved and one doesn't need to bore you listing them all.

On petroleum refineries in Nigeria, the same applies.

So, it's therefore strange to tag Dangote a monopolist!

The difference between Dangote and others is his doggedness and can-do-spirit which makes him stand out.

Nigeria has four refineries which are programmed never to succeed due to the nefarious activities of blacklegs in the industry.

PENGASSAN, NUPENG, DAPPMAN, etc are economic saboteurs who are holding Nigeria/Nigerians by the jugular.

This is why they see Dangote as a threat and would do all that is possible to sabotage him by surreptitiously bringing unionism into the company.

Dangote pays like "White" and his staff are not complaining.

Ask PENGASSAN and NUPENG how their so-called unions have helped in transforming Nigeria's refineries.

Those who have been laid off should go seek employment with those useless unions.

Dangote: Nigerians are with you gidigba 24/7!

Bro Unionism in real $ense is very good But Naija factor is what put Unionism in bad light here ... atenu ! this unions are just after money, to the point they even extort members

they lack objectivity and resolute

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

brain54:
Ofcourse, I acknowledged that much bolded...

Workers have certain rights just as well as employers do.

It's also like a tenant and landlord contract. Both has rights. Sometimes the tenant or worker is even more protected under such laws/conditions and are not "subservient "

The truth is most people are either ignorant, unwilling to go through the legal process, or don't just have trust in the judiciary to pursue such rights. That's why employers take advantage of them.

But those rights are there and inalienable and fundamental.

If a staff of uni illorin chooses to be a member of a legal association like ASSU then there is absolutely nothing unilorin can do about it bro. It's their right and the school can't take it away from them!

owagbeba:
Country wey work no dey
You manage get work for refinery
You leave your priority, go join union.
Who Union help?

Millions dey wey dey do fasting and prayer for this job..

No go dey form ALUTA for common interest.
There is no common interest in this country.
At least Una OGas at the top have shown you.
YOU ARE ON YOU OWN

You are your NEPA
You are your water company
You are your own Emergency services

Those union leaders need you slaves to dey put their pressure to dey collect for their pocket.

For them you are just a means to an end.
They threaten, they get paid . Same union wey go negotiate 70k salary with government- money wey no fit buy bag of rice. On top a, some states me gree pay… some sack workers. Wey the union to help?

YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN

How far with Osho baba! Him don collect him own marry Ethiopian OBO. Enjoyment for heaven. Him don forget aluta…


YOU ARE ON YOU OWN IN THIS BONGO!


Up here, They are blaming Dangote; very typical of Nigerians.. misplaced priority. Have these unions ever helped you slaves? You propped up NURTW, the leaders got rich and turned around to be an instrument of the state. Now you bear the brunt just carrying a load in your own private car. RTEAN / NNAMORAL have never protested or demanded good roads from the state. They don’t care… all they care is collect from you slaves at every bus stop.

Lecturers, teachers are left unpaid for years… wey the union? Medicals Nko? Abia or imo did not pay medical workers for years… wey the union?
