The Ministry of Labour says it welcomes the signing of the Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) between Firestone-Liberia and the Firestone Agriculture Workers Union of Liberia (FAWUL), on one hand, and the Cavalla Rubber Corporation and the General Agriculture and Allied Workers Union (GAAWUL).
The signing ceremony of the Firestone's CBA follows a historic election of the Workers Leadership which witnessed the supremacy of the rule of law and a process of social dialogue.
The Ministry of Labour commends the Management of Firestone and FAWUL as well as the Cavalla Rubber Corporation Management, and GAAWUL for their commitment and maturity demonstrated in reaching these final agreements.
These agreements reflect a true model of bipartisan in the Labour environment and reinforce the desire of the Ministry of Labour to ensure social dialogue as the appropriate frame work for industrial peace and harmony.
