The striking workers of Shoprite malls have suspended their action pending a final settlement of their grievances by April 19.
Retail activity at the popular mall along Airport Road in Abuja commenced as workers of the chain store conglomerate called off their protest which paralysed activities at their malls across the country.
The decision was arrived at after a meeting between the representatives of the union and the new management.
Both parties resolved to commence formal negotiations on April 19 at an all-encompassing meeting that will address all outstanding issues bothering on their payment.
The workers, under the aegis of National Union of Shop and Distributive Employees (NUSDE), had vowed that the company would be shut if the management fails to accede to their demands.
“Our leaders met with members of the new management of the company on Saturday , where they agreed to discuss more on April 19,’’ a senior member of staff said.
