Maritime workers to begin nationwide strike July 3
Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria will begin a nationwide strike on Wednesday, July 3, after the expiration of a two-week strike ultimatum issued by the union on June 13 over non-payment of stevedoring contractors.
Mr Adeyanju said that the two-week notice issued on this subject lapsed on Friday, June 28, saying that there was no indication that the issue was being addressed. Mr Adeyanju had urged the Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Transport to look into the issue so that dockworkers could be paid their salaries and wages.
“It will be necessary to inform you that NPA had held several meetings with these operators to grant access to the government-appointed stevedoring contractors, process their invoices, and effect payment,’’ Mr Adeyanju said. “A stakeholders’ meeting was held on Feb. 28, 2018, organised by NPA in Lagos to sensitise IOCs, jetty owners, and terminal owners,’’ Mr Adeyanju said.
