The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) have directed all its members in Eastern ports to commence an indefinite strike from Monday; over the unilateral sacked of 500 workers by the management of Integrated Logistics Services (INTELS) Nigeria Limited; and the Associated Maritime Services (AMS) Limited.
The union said the strike will last until the management of INTELS and AMS withdraw the sack letters issued to their members and resume negotiations with the unions.
In a statement signed by the Secretary General of MWUN, Comrade Felix Akingboye, the Union demanded that the Federal Government should investigate the presence of armed security operatives at a peaceful gathering of workers; and sanction those who brought the security operatives that brutalized, intimidated and harassed its members.
