The
Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) and
the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) have suspended
their strike.
Both unions
decided to suspend the strike after a meeting with Chris Ngige, minister of
labour and employment.
The unions
had embarked on the strike following what they termed anti-labour activities.
PENGASSAN
said the anti-labour activities included “delay in passage of the Petroleum
Industry Bill (PIB), unjust termination of appointment of the Port Harcourt
zonal secretary of the union by Total Exploration and Production (Total
E&P) Nigeria Limited, retardation of staff promotion in the Nigerian
Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NNRA), non- standardisation of nomenclature and
collective bargaining in line with what obtains in other agencies in the oil
and gas industry, refusal of the management of Petrostuff Nigeria Limited and
Sudelletra to recall sacked staff”.
