Liberia: Firestone-Liberia Sets Record Straight

24 January 2013

The management of Firestone-Liberia says its attention has been drawn to a banner headline captioned: "BAD LABOUR PRACTICES AT FIRESTONE" Firestone Tappers cast blame on GoL in the Monday, January 21, 2013 edition of the Liberia Journal Newspaper.

In a press release, the management of Firestone-Liberia informs the public that the issues raised in the story are false and misleading. "Firestone Liberia employees are represented by a union; working conditions and wages are the result of a collective bargaining process freely entered into by both parties and which presents circumstances over and above the minimum requirement of the law. All Tappers performing additional tasks, receives additional pay, according to the law," the management explains in the press release.
