Merlus Cormorant Fishing is threatening legal action against a union over its allegations of unpaid wages and fishing quotas for 111 former Walu Fishing workers.
The dispute between the Mining, Metal, Maritime and Construction Workers’ Union and the company follows a cease-and-desist letter dated 19 June in which Merlus chairperson Stanley Katzao accuses union representatives Godfried Kuhanga, Snard Heita and Joseph Garoeb of spreading false information about the company.
Katzao says the statements linking Merlus to unpaid wages and alleged misuse of fishing quotas are incorrect.
“You know, or reasonably ought to know, that these statements are factually incorrect,” he says in the letter.
