The National Union of Food, Beverage and Tobacco Employees, NUFBTE, has confirmed the reinstatement of 700 of its members working for beverage producer, La Casera Company Plc.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the head of Education Department of NUFBTE, Mike Olarenwaju, confirmed the development in Lagos.
According to the report, Mr. Olarenwaju said the management of the company met with union members to resolve the dispute and that the workers had been asked to start work.
Officials of NUFBTE will next week meet with the recalled workers to finalise issues with the in-house union.
The workers had earlier been disengaged by the La Casera management after an alleged invasion of the premises by hoodlums.
At least 1,300 workers, consisting of 700 staff members and 600 casual workers, arrived at the office on September 14 to find information pasted on the gate that their jobs had been terminated.
It was not immediately clear whether the 600 casual workers were also recalled.
