THE lingering industrial dispute between management of West Africa Tobacco Company Limited/FMCG Distribution Limited and labour has been resolved following the intervention of the Ministry of Labour and Productivity.
Aggrieved workers had last week shut the factory, warehouse and corporate head office of the company over alleged anti-labour practices by management, particularly the alleged victimisation of the branch Chairman, Mr. Reuben Elaiye.
The workers, led by leaders of Food Beverages and Tobacco Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, FOBTOB, an affiliate of Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, had accused the company of engaging in anti-union policy by refusing to recognise the in-house union and its executive inaugurated in the company three weeks ago.
However, representatives from the Labour Ministry led by Mr. Olayanju Omoniyi, leaders of TUC, FOBTOB and the management of the company after exhaustive deliberation, resolved that the in-house union be recognised by management in accordance with the provisions of the law.
