Labour war and collateralsThere is a cultural axiom about the impunity of one who has a beef with only an individual but afflicts an entire community with his spleen. The battle rages over claims that Dangote Refinery sacked some 800 of its workers because of their decision to join the labour union, allegedly against the policy of the refinery management to not to have its employees unionise. The shutdown of gas supply caused a drastic shortfall in national power generation and threw the country partially in darkness. In practical terms for the average electricity consumer, there was no public power supply for much of Sunday. It took NISO’s statement two days later to explain what happened, which was that PENGASSAN’s war with Dangote Refinery crippled national power supply.
