Maritime workers threaten strike over Apapa gridlock

13 Oct Maritime workers threaten strike over Apapa gridlock

The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) has given the Federal and Lagos State governments 21-day ultimatum to call Maersk Line, PIL, MSC and MOL to order.
The union said the companies’ trucks were responsible for the gridlock at Apapa and Tin-Can ports.
MWUN accused the four shipping companies of largely responsible for the gridlock caused by heavy duty trucks on the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, causing negative economic consequences at Tin-Can and Apapa ports.
In a statement by its President-General, Adewale Adeyanju, MWUN warned that failure by appropriate government agencies to address their demand, the union will embark on industrial action to protect its members.
