Labour demands recall within 7 days, as workers down tools

By Victor Ahiuma-Young

Intels Services Nigeria Limited has terminated the employment of no fewer than 600 workers in Rivers and Warri operational areas after it recently declared 30 workers redundant.

In a swift reaction, Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria, MWUN, Wednesday, gave the management of Intels a seven-day ultimatum to withdraw the sack letters and recall the affected workers or face total shut down of its operations nationwide.

Vanguard gathered that the affected workers were mostly employees of Associate Maritime Services, AMS, a subsidiary of Intels, reportedly sacked three days ago leading to industrial unrest by aggrieved workers since Monday.

In a letter of ultimatum to the Managing Director, Intels Nig. Ltd, Onne Port, Rivers State, Secretary-General of MWUN, Felix Akingboye, said: “Over the years the welfare benefits of your employees (Intels Nig. Ltd.) and that of your subsidiary Company, AMS, has always been the product of joint negotiation between your Management and the Union.

“In other words, the employees of the Principal (Intels Nigeria Ltd) and its subsidiary, AMS, enjoy the same welfare benefits.

“Recently, your management declared about 30 of its employees redundant and the Union was duly consulted, and a joint communiqué between management and the union was issued after due negotiation.

“Regrettably, however, we are informed that your management has terminated its contract with AMS which has led to over 600 workers (who are our members) being declared redundant without due recourse to the Union for the negotiation of their terminal benefits.

“Letters of termination/redundancy, we are informed, had already been served on the workers. This unfair labour practice is not acceptable to us.

“I have been directed to issue your management with a seven-day notice effective from the date of this ultimatum, within which to withdrawal all the letters of termination/redundancy served on the workers and recall them to duty, otherwise we shall be compelled to withdraw our services from your terminal at the expiration of the notice.”

The union added that “we demand that status quo ante should remain, pending when a management/Union meeting is convened to negotiate their exit and payment of terminal benefits.”

VANGUARD

4 dis harsh economy!

Plz let's continue the protest with

#RetructureNow

Even daddy adeboye agree with it. I'm atheist but I'll say Let somebody shout hallelujah!

Atiku is the owner of Intels. He is showing how much disdain he has for Nigerian workers. Laying off 300 workers just like that without severance or terminal benefits. But he can organize lavish wedding for his son. He can't try this nonsense in his native country of Cameroon.

divide this shit, these niggars are heartless because they are not his people 600 na wa oh!

This is not good

When the Federal Government through the NPA abruptly terminated the multimillionaire Pilotage agreement with Intels Nig Ltd without due recourse to the terms of the agreement that specify conditions precedent before a party can exit the contract, what were the sacked employee thinking ?

Federal government discontinued business transactions with Intel possibly to weaken Atiku Abubakar's 2023 presidential bid.

Intel no longer has business to sustain the numerous employees they have on their books. Lack of business has rendered the employees redundant.

Intel did not render it's staffs redundant, their business partners did, through discontinuation of business transactions with Intel.

By tomorrow, you will see headline as Atiku sacks Nigerian worker's.

All this is about 2023

If the contract was signed with due process ,Atiku could have taken the FG to court to seek redress or compensation.
Atiku silence only shows the contract was signed under dubious intention to short-change the million of Nigerians.
Just like the same P&ID contract signed by the same PDP administration.

God will continue to shame enemies of this country including their pathetic habitual Wailing supporters
