LA CASERA REINSTATES 700 SACKED WORKERS.

The National Union of Food, Beverage and
Tobacco Employees, NUFBTE, on Friday confirmed
that La Casera Company Plc has reinstated the
700 workers it sacked in September.
The head of Education Department of NUFBTE,
Mike Olarenwaju, confirmed the development to
the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
Mr. Olarenwaju said the management of the
company met with union members to resolve the
dispute and that the workers had been asked to
start work.
He said officials of the union would meet with the
workers next week to finalise issues with the in-
house union.
La Casera management had disengaged the
workers over the alleged invasion of the premises
by hoodlums.
At least 1,300 workers, consisting of 700 staff
members and 600 casual workers, arrived at the
office on September 14 to find information pasted
on the gate that their jobs had been terminated.
It was not immediately clear whether the 600
casual workers were also recalled.
