The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has threatened industrial action over alleged sack of 175 contract workers by Chevron Nigeria Limited.

Confiance News gathered on Friday from a statement signed by its National President and General Secretary, Comrade Williams Akporeha, and Comrade Olawale Afolabi respectively.

The workers who were in YKISH Integrated Services for the offsite/onsite maintenance services, Delog Nigeria Ltd and EUROFLOW Services basically, were said to have been disengaged because they declared to be members of NUPENG.

NUPENG called on concerned authorities including the Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva, to call Chevron and its service contractor to order so as to avert industrial action while it gave seven days ultimatum to the company to recall back the sacked contract workers.

“The sacked contract workers must be recalled back to work immediately, status quo maintained, while Chevron Nigeria Limited and its contractors properly engage the leadership of the union on all these matters raised for firm and final resolutions,” the statement read in part.
