According to a statement signed by the Head of Media for MWUN, Comrade John Kennedy Ikemefuna, the union has temporarily lifted the ultimatum in light of the ongoing negotiation.

The discussions are aimed at resolving the issue to favor both parties, with particular emphasis on improving the welfare of workers employed by the company.

Recall that the dispute stems from allegations by MWUN that Melsmore Marine failed to provide its employees with a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and did not remit pension contributions to the relevant Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs), as required by law.

The ultimatum, which was announced through the office of MWUN’s Secretary-General , Comrade Oniha Erazua , called on the company to address the issues or face industrial action.
