Lacasera Company Workers Protest Over The Sacking Of 700 Workers by exlink10(m): 6:03am On Sep 15, 2015
Workers at Lacasera Company Plc staged a protest on Monday in Lagos, moments after about 700 workers received their sack letters, the News Agency of Nigeria reports. The company, however, described the protest as an invasion of its premises by “hoodlums.’’

NAN reported that the crisis began after the workers arrived at the company premises in Amuwo Odofin Industrial Estate, Mile 2, Lagos, and found the gate locked against them and a notice of disengagement pasted at the entrance.

The notice dated September 14 and addressed to all members of staff, stated that “as a result of the unwarranted invasion of our business premises on September 11, we cannot guarantee the well-being of our employees from hired hoodlums and their collaborators.

“As a result of this unprovoked act of vandalism, we are unable to continue operations under this circumstance. “Unfortunately we regret to inform all our members of staff of their immediate disengagement.” But the workers, under the aegis of the National Union of Food, Beverage and Tobacco Employees, condemned the act, noting that some of them had worked for between five and 15 years.

Some of their placards read, “No more slavery in this country by foreigners (India); “We are against xenophobia from India” and “We can never be slaves in our fatherland.”


The Head of Education Department in NUFBTE, Mr. Mike Olarenwaju, who spoke for the workers, said that for 12 years the company had denied workers the right to unionise. Olarenwaju said that when an in-house union was about to be inaugurated, the management of the company sacked the chairman, which made the NUFBTE officials to visit the company on September 11 to address the workers.

“We were surprised today (Monday) that the company locked the gate and sacked the workers. “Meanwhile, the case between the workers and the company over unionisation is currently at the National Industrial Court.’’ He said that until the workers were re-absorbed, the union would continue to picket the company.

The state Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Mr. Idowu Adelakun, told NAN that the act of calling labour officials hoodlums was wrong and vowed that labour would not allow the company to function until the matter was resolved. Lacasera is a beverage company owned by Indians which started operations in Nigeria in year 2000 -

this is not how to play opposition. Buhari doesn't own the companies for him to be blamed for the sack of the workers.

If anyone should be blamed asides the in-house workers or owners, then PDP stands a better chance to fill that position for the way they ran the country's economy aground.

PMB is just cleaning up

Yes, Buhari doesn't own the companies but his lack of productive economic/fiscal policies affected Businesses negatively and FORCED organisation to prune down their human capital in order for continuous survival.

in the case of lacasera, I believe they are bedevilled by stiff competition as many soft drink companies are now making their drinks in plastic bottles to rival them. That alone can reduce their revenue. I now wonder the magic you expect buhari to perform so as to help them stop the competition they are facing, which is a good thing for our economy. Businesses fold up due to mismanagement. Why should government be blamed for an individual's mismanagement?

It's too early to judge PMB as he's still in the clean up phase. Let the old man concentrate or watch your wailing hit deaf ears.

If na me own the company, I will sack more.

No smart business owner will allow his workers to form a Union.

Smart move by the Indians.


If they don't want to work and earn their wages as agreed, they can leave. Boys full street wey ready to replace them.

Do not negotiate with terrorists.

uselessgoat:
see their Igbo heads. WHY CANT THEY GO DEVELOP THEIR REGION SINCE THEY ARE SCREAMING BIAFRA WE YORUBAS ARE TRULY ACCOMODATING IN LAGOS. SMH

So you Yorubas don't have jobs anywhere even in your own city?

It must hurt having competent hands from the East take over your land, jobs, women and everything. No wonder you guys are waiting for 5000 naira from Buhari monthly and free meal a day.

Better wake up from your slumber, go find work do. Na so una full nairaland all you tribal bigots without any source of living apart from hooliganism and government aids. You wonder why Osun and Ebonyi receive almost similar allocation and only one state is impoverished undecided.

Next time learn to shut your mouth up instead of insulting a whole tribe. I'm Urhobo by the way so feel free to aim at me.
