Labor nullifies Motorcycle Union's Certificate

The Labor Ministry has nullified the operational certificate of the Liberia Motorcycle Union, describing it as purported.

A Labor Ministry statement issued said the certificate in the possession of the union’s leadership was issued by unauthorized personnel of the ministry.

The ministry said the Minister of Labor has no knowledge and has never approved any certificate to such a union.

The statement said the proposed leadership of the motorcycle union was advised to re-file its documents to certify the criteria for legitimate certification but this has not happened.

The ministry said the action contravenes provisions of the Labor Practices Law of Liberia, which call for all criteria to be met for granting of certificate.

The Labor Ministry clarified it does not intend to strangulate anyone but wants to set the record strict in accordance with the law.
