WORKERS at Aluminium Smelter\u00a0Company, UC RUSAL, yesterday protested the non-payment of terminal benefits to disengaged workers.<\/p>\n

The workers flayed the decision of the management to pay casual\/contract workers who have been in their employ for six years and above N2,000 as terminal benefits.<\/p>\n

The protesters displayed placards with various inscriptions, such as: \u201cOur land, our ALSCON, we can\u2019t stay at home while strangers are working; RUSAL: Retain all indigenes or quit! \u201cNo indigene, no Russian, no ALSCON. Close down and go; RUSAL activities are strange, and No more land for farming in Ikpa Ibekwe clan. We must work in ALSCON.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of the workers, ALSCON\u2019s branch Chairman of the Steel and Engineering Workers Union of Nigeria (SEWUN), Linus Usen, said that the union was not pleased with the company\u2019s management in downsising without paying workers their terminal benefits.<\/p>\n
