PENGASSAN warns Mobil to reinstate 150 sacked workers
By Davies Iheamnachor PORT HARCOURT—
Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior
Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, has warned Mobil Producing Nigeria
Unlimited, MPNU, an affiliate of ExxonMobil, to immediately reinstate the over
150 of its members sacked by the company.
This was contained in a statement,
yesterday, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, co-signed by Festus Osifo, Chairman
and Aruoture Ugavah, Secretary, of PENGASSAN Producers Forum. The statement
noted that the action of the oil firm was pre-empting, because MPNU sacked the
workers who are members of PENGASSAN when discussions between the union and the
company were ongoing.
The union, said: “It has come to our notice that the
management of Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited, MPNU, an affiliate of
ExxonMobil, has served
disengagement letters to more than 150 of our members in
their employment. “This heinous disengagement was done even as discussion was still
ongoing in that regard between the association (PENGASSAN) and ExxonMobil
management.
We view the action of MPNU management as premeditated and aimed at
destroying the existing peace in the industry. “MPNU management’s action is
also a deliberate expression of disrespect and disregard to the association,
labour laws and Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA, duly signed by both the
association and ExxonMobil Management.” PENGASSAN called on all stakeholders,
Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources, Federal Ministry of Labour and
Productivity, Department of Petroleum Resource and the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, to prevail on MPNU to return to the negotiating
table.
The union warned that if the company fails, the entire producers’ members
would have no option but to join in solidarity action with their members in
MPNU.
