Speaking on Thursday during the Shipping branch Women’s wing first seminar and award presentation with the theme “Women in Unionism: Balancing Work, Family & Health”, held in Lagos, the President General lamented that many of the shipping companies do not have the love of their workers at heart, this is even as he stated that there is need to have a minimum standard payment for the shipping companies workers.

Adeyanju informed that over the years, the shipping companies have leveraged on the outbreak of the COVID 19 to deny workers the benefits due to them

He however noted that the union will not fold its hands and watch the companies ride on the workers.

He said: “I want to use this medium to emphasize the need for the condition of service in the shipping sector, the shipping workers have contributed their quota to the development of this country

“There is a need for us to have a minimum standard in shipping, if after a worker put up to 30 to 40 years and after years of service, his take-home is nothing to write about. I want to appeal to the shipping companies to wake up, the right of the shipping workers should be given to them,
