On Monday, scores of workers at Lacasera Company Plc in Lagos staged a protest moments after about 700 workers received their sack letters.
The protest started after the workers arrived at the company premises in Amuwo Odofin Industrial Estate, Mile 2, Lagos, and found the gate locked against them and a notice of disengagement pasted at the entrance.
The notice dated September 14 and addressed to all members of staff, stated that ''as a result of the unwarranted invasion of our business premises on September 11, we cannot guarantee the well-being of our employees from hired hoodlums and their collaborators''.
''As a result of this unprovoked act of vandalism, we are unable to continue operations under this circumstance. Unfortunately we regret to inform all our members of staff of their immediate disengagement.
But the workers, under the aegis of the National Union of Food, Beverage and Tobacco Employees, condemned the act, noting that some of them had worked for between five and 15 years.
Lacasera is a beverage company owned by Indians which started operations in Nigeria in year 2000.
