Negotiations between employer and employees struggling to find a happy outcome


The 72-hour strike by employees of the Lomé Transport Company (Sotral) is continuing. On Wednesday, open negotiations with their employer hardly found a happy epilogue.

The conclusions of the discussions around the negotiating table did not really satisfy the strikers. Since it was only the payment of wages that was found as a solution. The employees, meeting within the National Autonomous Syndicate of Public Transport Companies of Togo (SYNASOTRAT), still brandishing their demanding platform, decided to continue their mood.

"Concretely, nothing came out of the discussions to say that there is advancement, but the first point concerning the payment of wages has been resolved." The employer has informed us that all the provisions are taken to That the transfer is done, but I remind you that the payment of wages is a right, and you can not rely on that and say that there is an advancement and therefore, in effect, postpone the strike. Has 12 points on our platform demand and it is necessary that these 12 points find satisfaction, "hammered out of the discussions, Synasotrat SG Oyewalé Folasoye.

According to the latter, since Monday, the managers of the Sotral only make long-term promises on the year 2018.

"But," he continues, "with what we live in Sotral as management, no one is sure to stay in Sotral until 2018. Many of the employees will eventually contract out in less than three months. Promoting 2018 while knowing that the employer can send us back at any time (and this is already happening), there is something to worry about and to make promises with tongs.

The employees of Sotral, on the way, call on the competent authorities for a quick satisfaction of their platform of demand.

The payment of salaries on or before the 8th of the month, the classification of the salary scale, the increase of the duration of the contract, the authorization of the use of holidays canceled by the management are, among other claims of the employees of Sotral.

Oruko Amutorunwa (Pre-Destined Names) In Yorubaland

                                                           Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland.
