PRESS RELEASE
The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) have suspended the 7-day ultimatum it issued Chevron Nigeria Limited and its Contractors over the sack of workers through WhatsApp and other anti labour actions and postures.
The suspension was ordered by the leadership of the Union following the immediate recall and reinstatement of the sacked workers and the on-going discussions to quickly resolve other outstanding issues.
However, NUPENG reiterates that the suspension of the strike ultimatum is not a total call off but a respect to on-going discussions the Union is having with Chevron and it Contractors over all the issues at stake believing that management will act in good faith and decently in line with principles of social dialogue.
The leadership of the Union appreciates all relevant Government Agencies for their quick interventions on the matters in dispute.
