According to Jones Damião, representative of workers affiliated to the Union of Organized Workers in the Petroleum and Related Sector of Angola (STOSPA), there is a “mafia” that manages more than seven jobs under these conditions. All are located in the capital.
“We are on strike due to working on a direct-managed bomb from Sonangol, on the way to four years and without a work contract. We contacted Sonangol, who responded by saying that he will give us compensation and we rejected it, ”explained the workers' representative, quoted by VOA.
The unionist re-affirms the existence of a "mafia" behind these actions, saying that the workers will "die at the post", if Sonangol does not present a "satisfactory answer".
Sonangol Distribuidora was contacted without success.
