It's really pathetic bro, Dangote should not be bigger than Nigeria, why should foreigners be paid higher than local experts it's really unfair, how we treat one another
During Interview you negotiate salary as a experience employee .if you like call any amount if they need you they pay.
That how recruitment is done .
Some Dundee's come online and say Indians are over paid .they negotiate their salary during interviews
We Local also negotiate our salary no need for any union they ask you what you expected salary and you state it
Same role Candidate A negotiated 6m per annum
Candidate B negotiate 9m
And they where both employed then Candidate A became Jealous after knowing the other pays

U don't knw anything...u have no idea of anything.. probably u're just one frustrated job seeker and u're willing to be pooped on just to have a job...a job that u poured in ur sweat and u won't be able to have a voice...
U're hv never worked in a multinational company before..u don't hv idea of how it works in civilized atmosphere...u want a job to give u food on ur table and after few months..u will be tired...
When facts trigger an empty vessel, he gets emotional. Sorry enh I have a question for you. Did you pour out your sweat for free? Were you paid or not? So because you worked in someone’s company for some time you now feel you have a right to determine the destiny of the organization? Build your own company or get employed in pengassan.

unionisation is a right of workers in accordance with the laws of Nigeria, and this right should be respected....

U're so ignorant of the labour law...if the convenient for dangote...he can work there alone with his children...

It's the right of the employee to join union and her has no right in interfering with the process...
Tell me the trade secrets he's trying to keep...
Even multinational companies like nestle.. Unilever do not exempt there workers for join the union...
The doesn't want the driver to join nupeng...the doesn't want to worker to join pengassan...
It's a foul play from dangote...
Buy doing so...he will continue to pay them below the standard of other oil and gas companies... imagine working for dangote refinery and u're paid 250k monthly as salary...u cannot even call urself an oil and gas worker with that bad pay... Do ur finding very before I drag u on this app ...

I knw u're ignorant of this things...that's why u need to learn and make ur research
Madam, pack your load and leave Dangote to work there alone na. Na by force for you to stay? Na your father house ? You want to be forming aluta inside someone papa company! Do it and get flung out to work in cement factory. You go carry bags of cement tire.

What you just raised is the main reason for unionism, except for strategic roles there should not be need for mind games or wages negotiation, it's supposed to be classified and structured. Capitalism always want to extract the best out of people, manipulate them to settle for less until they realize they are being cheated, Unions comes to bring stability to the chaoses Capitalists create. I am actually surprised at how people are praising Dangote as Messiah when he is actually part of the problems, it's totally wrong for a foreigner to be paid higher than a local when in actual sense the local is even well equipped and experienced that the foreigner all because the word expatriates are used

People like u hv never work in a multinational company before..and will never do with this mentality..the law of the country says it ur right to join union...to have ur voice... But because u come from humble background and u lack everything and u're willing to do anything give u the poor judgement that expertraite in the field will accept shitty work condition and let anyone trample on ur right...u are the very problem u have in this country if u fail to differentiate between ur right and privileged....

You all should learn how to think critically and stop getting hypnotized so easily. How can you just believe the trash Premium Times wrote up there. na wa for una oo..
You don't come to my mention to tell me that a report put in the public domain by Premium Times is false without bringing your purported true version of the story! It simply means that you debunk reports even when you have no contrary details, and only ignorance could have caused that.

Does an employer have the sack or not, at any point in time. Yes or no?

Company hasn’t even operated for one year and want pengassan to come and frustrate them!

Is the sacking justified ...
That's why the union comes in...


A company owner can decide to sack u for breathing too much....

But is that justifiable?


...this is the function of union...I'm not saying the union isn't corrupt..so is dangote system and MRS.....

It's just the case of bigger thief calling out a smaller one

When you borrow to establish a 20billion dollar refinery and wakes up one morning to hear about the creation of a WhatsApp group whose members are tasked with supplying daily information on the company to an external body, you will understand how just the sacking is.

Madam, where labor laws end is where the rights of an employer to sack, fire or discontinue an employee contract begins.

There are millions of job seeking Nigerians willing to take up those vacant roles in the refinery

I stand by my point— if you feel like you are not being treated fairly enough, resign and go work at pengassan.
This is the mentality they have so baptized you with to make you allow swallowing their shit, and you are here is doing it with all the pride in you. Yes, there are millions of job seeking Nigerians but not alot of them are qualified enough to be fit for employment. So if you think that because those graduates were sacked by Dangote then he will employ you and your siblings, my dear, you are wrong because you and your siblings are not experienced and qualified enough to take up such a role. Rather, he will look for Indians who are qualified, and that is what he has done. So, undoing your fellow blacks' thinking that you will be elevated above them because of your jealousy and hate for your race will never lead you anywhere; rather, your kids and future generation will grow to face the same toxic environment you advocated for during your time.

Ma, why don’t you let Dangote deal with the concern of how to replace the redeployed hands. Dont be drinking Panadol for another persons headache
Also he didn’t undo any fellow blacks as the he only redeployed some and he’s employing new hands

You can believe whatever you want... When you have your own private company or business you are free to allow unions to help you run it.
This is not about allowing union run your business, Union is not running Dangote refinery, i know they are a pain the ass sometimes but they are there to balance the employee and employer relationship and vreate an hea;lthy work environment. and in a country like Nigeria where the entire three arms of government has failed the common man, union is the only hope a common man can have, but i do not expect folks like you to understand this. You have never worked in a multinational organisation before, to know how they treat their staff.

You resign and travel to India too so they can pay you 4000 USD .your must not work in Dangote...some of the staff moved to Qatar why wait
That is the hurdle they will never employ you there in India where they have indians to do the job. The government will close down that company, talk more of paying you a huge amount over the indian workers na who are able to achieve such in India. Only a crime scene like Nigeria this kind of thing can happen. Even in Angola here such nonsense cannot happen. If you employ an Expat you must employ an Angolan to work alongside that Expat as an understudy, and that understudy will be paid the same amount you are paying that Expat. You know that and know how your country has failed its workers. A lot of experienced engineers we have in Nigeria are leaving the country and going to work abroad none wants to work for Nigeria again. Some we will have shortage of Nigerian experienced engineers, but it is not easy for us to get jobs Abroad.

Givin the government more power to deal with you and do you anyhow. Nice one. Nigerians like you are wonderful people. Later you will cry your eyes out when the government of the day follow through with your advice later on when the governmnet starts dealing with Nigerians and you. We know of past NLC and how they succeeded in keeping even the military government on check. Even if NLC failed us with the peanut N70K minimum wage they negotiated with FG but at least they tried to double it from N30K to N70K and before it was just N18. without them minimun wage would still be at N9500 and there is nothing any one of you can do about that and now you still open mouth to tell the governmnet to ban ll union. Wonderful, my friend, you are doing well.
You cry democracy, equity, fairness and true separation of power from the government. But you are hypocritically reluctant to implement same at the union level...

Why would a dispute with a private refinery lead to a total shut down of the economy?
Why would a union unilaterally have such power without a congregation?


So if there's a dispute within a private university that led to the sacking of some lecturers, ASUU should ground the academic sector?

If comprehension did not betray you then:
You will note speration into independent unions based on states and sector would.
Ensure tyrants don't hijack the labour for malicious intent.

FOR NATIONWIDE ISSUES THESE UNIONS CAN CALL A CONGREGATION OF NIGERIAN LABOUR UNIONS AND JOINTLY DECIDE TO GROUND THEIR SECTO(S).

But not an all powerful union under a tyrannical board...

If Dangote don't wanna heed to pengassan demand, he should move his refinery to North
Thinking like those terrorist ipob!
What has this issue got to do with region?
Is pengassan a West owned Union?
I am sure terrorist ipob are not happy that the refinery was not built in their enclave for them to use against other Nigerians. I discussed with someone that it's likely those so called pengassan and nupeng guys pushing to disrupt the refinery operations are those disguised ipob who have infiltrated various sectors with plans to sabotage every development in the country.
if that refinery was located in the terrorist ipob enclave, these terrorists would have got a bargaining chip against Nigeria.

. Any company who do a thing like that is a wicked company. Companies are not doing you a favor when they employ you. An employment contract is a mutually beneficial one between the employer and the employee, as much as the employee needs the job to earn a salary to pay their bills, the same way the employer needs the employee to work and earn money for them. Using the failed state of the economy, because there are many jobless people in the country, is not enough reason to make the worker feel that you are doing him any favours. You are supposed to make your employees happy so they can be motivated to work for you with all their heart and see your company as their. i can tell you for free that employees will stay and give their life for an employer who they feel cares about them.

Nobody is saying anything about union running any business and when di the union said they wanted to run Dangote refinery. You people just use your emotions to reason and act anyhow. All the companies like NLNG, Exxon Mobil, Seplat, and Shell that are members of Pengassen. is it the union that is running those companies are those companies not owned by private investors? If you do not know about a thing, then stop talking about it.

You are the one who should skip and pass since you cannot even use your brain for once to reason logically. I asked again what is the sentive information thay are giving is it the daily production report or the maltreatment report they are receiving. until your paid premium times can answer that then this report is rubbish and for one i said i have worked in that refinery before and I resigned voluntarily after a few months. so you that has never even stepped your foot their is just talking out of ignorance.

You mean employing new Indian hands who will never pay tax to the Nigerian government and same new indians who will never consume his product. Trump and other world leaders are looking for wys to chase foreigners who will even pay tax to them away from their country so they will not take up the American Jobs that the same Americans do not even want to do, and here you are supporting a black man to give jobs meant for Nigerians to foreigners, and you are so happy about it.

Stop these propaganda
If Indians aren’t paying taxes how is that Dangote’s fault?
Dangote told them not to pay taxes? I don’t even believe that their pay isn’t taxed, and they aren’t it cannot be Dangote’s fault.

Is Dangote now a white man?

We don’t want you people to ruin his business. He is black and we are trying to protect a fellow black man’s business.
