ICEM Calls Attention to ExxonMobil’s Harsh Côte d’ Ivoire Actions

The ICEM has protested ExxonMobil’s decision in Côte d’ Ivoire to sack oil workers without dialogue and negotiations with affiliate SYNTEP-CI. The US-based firm is unilaterally moving on a plan called “functional alignment” that closes workstations and produces collective redundancies. Since ExxonMobil did negotiate with unions in neighbouring countries, the ICEM called it “the highest level of discrimination,” as well as “violations of workers’ and union rights.”
