The union claimed the affected workers have already been locked out from the office by Chevron Nigeria Limited under the guise of COVID-19 restrictions. The union called on the Federal Government to intervene by directing Chevron to comply with Nigerian laws and regulations in the oil and gas industry. The union argued that Chevron Management experimented with Work From Home (WFH) since the outbreak of Covid-19 in March 2020. That motivated them to go for doing the same work from the US to gain more control on the company. Hence, it said, the company has resorted to axing 600 workers, which would badly affect the workers especially when there are no other alternatives opened for the workers.
