For joining the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, the management of Dangote Refinery has sacked all its workers.
The development comes barely few weeks after the federal government brokered truce between the company and NUPENG over labour disputes.
The disputes came after Dangote said it will not allow drivers of the over 4000 CNG-powered trucks it recently acquired to unionize.
While confirming the sack, PENGASSAN President Festus Osifo, who also doubles abs TUC National President confirmed the sack, saying are on to ensure that the employees are recalled.
