The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association (PENGASSAN) on Tuesday, warned employers in the sector over alleged anti-labour practices.

The union also expressed displeasure over some employer’s disregard for Nigeria’s labour laws.

PENGASSAN, in a statement, said some oil service companies refused to align with the directives of the Ministry of Labour and the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR).

Meanwhile, NUPENG has also raised the alarm over a move by some oil firms to deny the workers of their terminal benefits.

President, NUPENG, Williams Akporeha, said it was another sinister plot by these employers to defraud workers of their entitlements.

He implored relevant authorities including the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Nigeria Police, and the Department of State Services (DSS) to live up to their responsibilities by compelling employers to pay the terminal benefits of the affected workers.
