Pengassan pushes back strike plans



By Upstream staff 

Nigerian oil workers' union Pengassan said today it is in talks with the government over a labour dispute at the local arm of ExxonMobil and any strike action had been put back until next week.

Pengassan had previously threatened to call a strike in the oil sector starting tomorrow.

A union spokesman told Reuters after a meeting of its top officials today that it would decide on whether to call a strike next week depending on the outcome of high-level talks with government.
