BREAKING: Berger Paints Workers Protest in Lagos (Photos)

By Modupe Gbadeyanka

Employees of one of the leading paint firms in Nigeria, Berger Paints Nigeria Plc, are currently demonstrating at the premises of the company located on Oba Akran Road, Ikeja, Lagos State.

The aggrieved workers, who use Prints4sure, are asking the management of the organisation to reverse its decision to stop payment of gratuity of those on its payroll.

It was alleged that since 2015, the management of Berger Paints Plc has stopped paying gratuity to workers.

Efforts to make the firm change this policy have reportedly been futile. This has forced the members of staff, with the backing of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), to stage a protest against this and press home their demands.

The workers carried placards conveying different messages to speak their minds to the management of the company.
