the dismissal of their MD, claimed that she has disregarded their collective
bargaining agreement that spelt out their conditions of service
In an interview with an employee, John Ackon by Citinews, said their leadership would meet with the National
Labour Commission, NLC, on Wednesday.
“This morning our leadership
briefed us after a meeting with the National Labour Commission. They have asked
that we hold on as they meet with the Labour Commission. Since we want to
protect our company, we will resume work while they handle the issue.”
“We have also agreed that the MD
we are protesting against stays outside until we are done with all the issues.
The gates are still locked. We are protecting the environment to ensure that
she [the MD)] doesn’t enter the room. We know her and how vindictive she can
be.”
