Tunacor welcomes more workers
CRACKS might soon appear in a scheme to employ 425 former factory workers of Seaflower Pelagic Processing (SPP) at Tunacor Fisheries Limited because the contingent of factory workers will receive a full salary with benefits for not working while their new employer will receive a hefty Christmas bonus to boot.
In an unprecedented ‘transfer’ of workers to make good on a promise made by the Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Dr. Albert Kawana, and the Erongo Regional Governor, Neville Andre late in November, Tunacor Fisheries Limited signed a protocol agreement with the National Fishing Corporation of Namibia (Fishcor) to temporarily employ 425 workers of Seaflower Pelagic Processing (SPP) in exchange for a horse mackerel quota of 4 000 tonnes.
