MARITIME Workers Union of Nigeria, MWUN, have decried alleged unfair Labour practices by shipping companies operating in Nigeria, warning the companies to end perceived anti-Labour policies and practices to avoid the wrath of organized Labour.
At the Union’s National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in Lagos, it’s President-General, Prince Adeyanju Adewale, lamented that the shipping companies had no regard for the welfare of workers and that the Union would no longer tolerate the practice.
According to him, “It is sad to note that the Nigerian Shipping Industry perhaps houses some of the worst employers of Labour across the globe who demand so much from their employees, but pay peanuts as wages. They employ practices and standards that dehumanised their employees and challenge their dignities.
