Workers of ExxonMobil affiliate, Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited, have started a three-day warning strike.
The workers are among several issues accusing the company of violating the provisions of the Local Content Act and firing Nigerian workers.
They are also accusing it of violating previous agreements it reached with their union, the Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria.
Should the company fail to address their grievances, the workers warned that they would start an indefinite strike on Monday.
The relationship between the workers and the company have been frosting for a while with a dispute over their welfare grabbing the headlines less than five months ago.
In December 2016, they had shut down activities at the company’s Qua Iboe Terminal to protest against its decision to fire up to 100 workers. (Channels TV)
