The Automobile Department of Stallion Group is experiencing tension from the employees as the workers have now embarked on strike over poor welfare, medical facilities and several other.

The company has been accused of failing to give its workers a conducive and enabling working environment, lack of benefits, non-remittance of pension for the past 6months, poor healthcare facilities (HMO) and non-payment of salaries for over 13months.

Meanwhile, at the Group’s Gbagada Office, placards were placed at the entrance which reads; Poor Welfare, Poor Medical Facilities, Non Payment of Pension, Poor Remuneration and others.

However, according to the affected workers who would rather remain anonymous, they said; “We have to keep mute till this moment because of fear of being sacked and victimized due to job insecurity.”
