Another round of protest has been embarked on by Shoprite workers at Ring Road branch, Ibadan, on Friday which led to the\u00a0shutting down of the company indefinitely.<\/p>\n

The workers, under the aegis of National Union of Shop and Distributive Employees (NUSDE) vowed that the company would remain shut until management acceded to their demands.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the development, the\u00a0chairman, NUSDE, Shoprite branch, Mr Williams Peter, said the union was using the Easter period to press home its demands since dialogue had failed.<\/p>\n

He stated that all Shoprite stores had been shut down nationwide because the negotiation between the union and the management had been deadlocked.<\/p>\n

Peter attributed the indefinite strike<\/a> to the alleged refusal of the management to meet up with the demands of the union.<\/p>\n

He said that although the planned transfer of Shoprite to a new owner had been withheld for now, \u201cwe see this Easter period as the right time to get management to listen to us and accede to our demands.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, if the management is not ready to listen to us, it then means that Shoprite is not ready to open this April. We will shut the company down until they listen to us.<\/p>\n

\u201cGive us what we want and we will then be ready to discuss with the new investors and have a new agreement with them,\u201d the union leader said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the management of the company has described the industrial action embarked upon by the workers as \u2018unlawful\u2019.<\/p>\n

The management, in a memo by its Divisional Human Resources Manager, Adeola Kagho, said that it was considering appropriate action to be taken against the striking workers, saying this might include their summary dismissal, should they fail to return to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease note that your conduct is in breach of your contract of employment, company rules and procedures and the applicable federal legislation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe company is not prepared to tolerate your participation in any unlawful industrial action.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe company is now considering appropriate action to be taken against you and this may include your summary dismissal, should you disregard the instruction\/ultimatum hereunder.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are accordingly instructed to return to work immediately in an orderly and diligent manner,\u201d Kagho said.<\/p>\n

She urged the workers to follow the \u2018established company\u2019s internal procedure, should they wish to raise any grievance.<\/p>\n

The union\u2019s demands include better conditions of service and payoff whenever the company decides to change its ownership.<\/p>\n

The union had embarked on a warning strike on March 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
