Nigeria’s oil unions will repeat last week’s two-day strike against Royal Dutch/Shell and extend it to the US firms Chevron/Texaco and ExxonMobil if talks with the company on Tuesday breakdown.
Lumumba Okugba, deputy general secretary of white-collar oil union Pengassan said: The next one will be have to be bigger and we will have to take it holistically, not just Shell. We have the same problem with Chevron and Mobil. “We could go the whole hog.”
Pengassan is protesting against Shell’s plans to restructure its African operations, a move that will involve job losses. It is also protesting against the hiring of non-union casual staff.
