Lol . Those staff will all be sacked again. Redeploying them to other parts and firing them soon after will be treated as isolated incidences that occured at different times . Not that they will be in one company at the same time . It is a Trojan horse and Pegassan has accepted it .

As a private business , you have the right to hire and fire anyone for whatever reason . Rehiring them is just to bid time and get the strike suspended .
So why did he re hire them?
And you think people who have undergone years of training in refinery operations and were part of that refinery start will look for job for that long?

Na wa ooooo.

The fact pengassan agreed to call off the strike despite the redeployment stuff only showed they were fighting for the sacked workers who by the reason of the redeployment may no longer be their member

While the millions spent in training them in india will be lost as dangote will spend another to train some more
Dangote will always keep getting dumb advice from his Indian remote controls.

Because we see him as savior, he is now free to disregard our labour laws. I love the way the man blackmail gullible Nigerians into supporting him. First he is getting crude at cheaper price and selling fuel above import price. Always crying sabotage to have his way

Those town criers who have been crying for days now can now wipe their tears off. And all those ones that threatened one million man protest and can drive the protesters to kwara state where they are needed
You are wrong in that. Pengassan only agreed to save face and to prevent people from exposing their real intentions for the strike.

no... Dangote is actually smart with dis move... It happened in unilorin years back... Some lecturers join ASUU strike lost their job... It took them 9 yrs to get their job back through d courts.... D effect of dis action was that whenever ASUU asked their members to go on strike unilorin members didn't join as none wanted to lose their jobs....

Did dangote go back to his vomit or not?
I thought it's his personal property and he can sack and hire at will
Why bowing down to pressure this time

Pengassan lost nothing, all the members will get their full salaries this month, that's in millions for most of them, while people like you can keep bickering
Dangote did not go back to his vomit! He says he is ''reorganizing'' his refinery and does not need those workers there anymore. And that still stands.
He is the owner of his factory, PENGASSAN cannot dictate to him. And who says those redeployed workers cannot be sacked again in future if they misbehave? He has only accepted to redeploy them based on humanitarian grounds.
But dem no born any worker in the refinery to go join PENGASSAN/NUPEN again! That is what matters!

Let PENGASSAN/NUPENG go fight for the sales attendants who sell petrol into peoples' cars at filling stations and they are paid less than the minimum wage.

In one of my posts I said Dangote most have to compromise. That he has done so I don't know what is exciting you. They are still staffs of Dangote.

Sales attendants have their union too. When we talk pengassan, we talk about people who run the economy of this country through valves

With the knowledge and training those guys have, they will be hot cakes in middle east and some parts of Africa. Actually they were freed from the bonds they signed because of the money spent on them

So the rice farm and sugar people are slave camps abi, not conducive for an average human to work?

"If verification "
Am sorry for you, those guys that spent months in India won't find it hard to get refinery jobs anywhere in the world because they ve worked with one of the biggest refineries
Have u asked why dangote mandated them to sign bonds.
Dangote has lost talents and replacing those talents doesn't come easy. I guess you haven't really gotten to that level to know the importance of human resources in any organization
If u are one of them take heart..What will u be doing in those kind of company if ur expertise was on oil and gas.They will only end of destroying the skill over time.
Let dangota put up advert for those vacancies and u will more than enough nigeria unemployed youths show up with even better qualifications. And those vacant positions have been filled already. Did u hear the refinery has slowed down in operation since it all started.
Many of them will not even accept the new redeployment because of the state the companies are located
Thr village people remember thr case.Many will become uber drivers soo.Do u have more skills than the Indians,ashians and Latinos all over the world

Off course with lower salaries, as refinery workers goes home with fat monthly check
Dangote refinery staffs do not go with any facts salary check. When Dangote refinery began I know people that ran there. Most have left because they thought the salary go make sense.

Dangote just trained people for years and freed them from the bonds they signed. I guess this one is too big for you to comprehend

They will now carry the training and years of experience to places like the middle east and north Africa where their skills are in high demand

Nobody is disrupting his business he is just trying to be cunning and deceiving you guys. How many times have Chevron, Mobil, Total have been disrupted by PENGASSAN?

We don't care!

So far there are NO unions in Dangote refinery cheesy

PENGASSAN can go to hell. It's game over for them. No union can hold Nigeria hostage anymore cool

The issue was never about re-employing the workers.
The issue was about sacking the workers from working in Dangote refinery. And that is still maintained.
Afterall, Dangote did not say he would not accept them in other companies. He only said he does not need them in the refinery anymore. And he won!
The sales attendants in filling stations are also oil and gas workers; NUPENG and PENGASSAN should be fighting for them.

Did they also inform you that those workers will be paid the same amount no matter where they are redeployed to. Don't worry you will soon see the details of the agreement

Pengassan secured the victory for those workers
Before you sack anybody for joining union, you think twice

Go school, you no gree.

There were two matters. The sacked workers and the right to join unions. The workers were recalled and to be redeployed . The workers can now join nupeng and PENGASSAN.

The statement reads: “The Honourable Minister of Labour informed the meeting that unionisation is a right of workers in accordance with the laws of Nigeria, and this right should be respected
Redeployment is when an employer moves an employee from one role to another, often to avoid redundancies.

Zionmdde:
Are the dangote employees or not? Why don't you answer the question
And who will lose more after training them in india?

Anyway did dangote backdown by re employing them or not?

And what happened to the protest you were bragging that you will organize?
Is it your loss or what?

Once they are successfully redeployed, they will no longer be under pengassan or nonsense-ssan.

By then, dangote can decide to weed them out one by one for non-performance, and pengassan will not have the jurisdiction to fight for them.

You may argue that the jobless nlc will then jump in to fight for them. Until then.

Nigerians need to start asking questions about how nlc, pengassan and other unions use the funds accrued to them over the years. We need an hashtag.

So whether they work in sugar or cement they will earn the same pay

If it was that easy they won't have been fighting to stay back in the refinery.
Infact they would be happy to leave or have tendered resignation since when the company went against thr will.Stop claiming what u are not.If u are part of them u lacked wisdom

They will be flushed out eventually under one guise or the other.

How dare you dictate to your employer? What effrontery! angry
