ADEYANJU REELECTION: MWUN, NLC To Tackle Employers Over Expatriate Bogus Welfare Packages Over Nigerians

The Maritime Workers’ Union of Nigeria (MWUN) has promised to challenge employers of labour in the sector over the bogus welfare packages and benefits for foreigners against Nigerian workers  .

 

The union said   it is totally unacceptable to employ more expatriates than  indigenes to perform same job with salary disparity in favour of the foreigners.

 

The President General of the MWUN, Comrade Adewale Adeyanju stated this on Friday at the 5th Quadrennial National Delegates Conference held in Lagos.

Adeyanju who said he was not against employment of expatriates reiterated that there should not be discrimination against the indigenous workers even as he said they should earn same salaries because the indigenous workers are the ones doing the job.

 

Speaking on outsourcing of jobs to foreign companies, the PG condemned in strong terms the development saying jobs that are performed creditably by Nigerians are outsourced to foreigners even as he described the practice as endemic in the maritime sector.

He added that the development would undoubtedly send hundreds of Nigerian workers into the unemployment market while creating employment for foreign nationals.

 

He therefore called on such companies to stop such practice saying it is at variance with the Nigeria Labour law.

 

Earlier, he had stated that the union was in support of the call by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) not to remove wages/salaries from exclusive legislation list to the concurrent legislative list.

 

He said, “We call on the National Assembly to drop the attempt to remove wages/salaries from the exclusive legislative list to the concurrent legislative list.
