Tension in the maritime industry has eased following the suspension of a 21-day strike notice issued to Melsmore Marine Nigeria Limited by the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) over industrial grievances.
According to a statement by the Union’s Head of Media, John Kennedy Ikemefuna, the MWUN, through its Secretary-General Oniha Erazua, had earlier issued the ultimatum over a protracted dispute. The concerns included Melsmore’s failure to provide a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and to remit pension contributions to the Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs), as demanded by the Union.
In a positive turn of events, both parties are now engaged in constructive dialogue aimed at reaching a mutual agreement. The discussions are focused on resolving the impasse and enhancing the welfare package for Union members, who are legitimate employees of Melsmore Marine Nigeria Limited.
