Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Management of the Liberia Petroleum Refining Company (LPRC) and the United Workers Union of Liberia (UWUL) have successfully signed a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), marking a significant achievement for workers in Liberia\u2019s downstream petroleum sector.<\/p>\n

The signing ceremony, held at the Product Storage Terminal (PST) on Bushrod Island, Monrovia, represents the culmination of a thorough and collaborative negotiation process that commenced in August 2023. The CBA addresses key issues such as terms and conditions of employment, grievance procedures, wage structures, and working hours, reflecting a shared commitment to improving the welfare of LPRC\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of LPRC\u2019s management, Managing Director Amos B. Tweh commended the negotiation teams for laying the groundwork for this second Collective Bargaining Agreement between the company and its employees.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that management engaged in the negotiations with sincerity and is equally committed to implementing the agreement in good faith.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, UWUL Director for Training Mr. Vacus Wilmont Kun praised LPRC management, particularly acknowledging the cooperation of Mr. Jacob Julius Smith, Deputy Managing Director for Administration, throughout the negotiation process. He expressed confidence that all parties will respect and adhere to the terms of the CBA.<\/p>\n

Minister of Labor, Cllr. Cooper Kruah, who served as a witness to the signing, highlighted the Government of Liberia\u2019s commitment to safeguarding public interests by promoting industrial peace, enhancing productivity, and ensuring non-discriminatory employment practices.<\/p>\n

He affirmed the government\u2019s support for voluntary and rational negotiations, as exemplified by the partnership between LPRC management and the workers\u2019 representatives. Minister Kruah also urged both parties to strictly observe the provisions of the Decent Work Act and the newly signed CBA.<\/p>\n

The current CBA is the second in LPRC\u2019s history, symbolizing the ongoing collaboration between the company and its workforce. The ceremony was attended by several top stewards, local union officials, and a cross-section of LPRC employees, underscoring the importance of this agreement to all stakeholders.<\/p>\n
