The National Union of Agriculture and Allied Employees in Cross River, Nigeria, has discredited the allegations that 50 pregnant women had died while working for PZ Wilmar in Biase Plantation and EYOP industries Limited since 2012.
Both PZ Wilmar and EYOP had their first negotiated Condition of Service agreements with the union in 2015. In 2018, the service agreement was reviewed and finalized in 2019. “We would like to commend the management of these two companies for implementing the agreed-upon Condition of Service as well as the new National Minimum Wage Act, therefore resulting in robust working environments for workers.
Hope Obeten, Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker, Mr Eteng Jonah-Williams, said this in a release issued in Calabar.
