The House of Representatives has summoned Labour Minister Moses Kollie, to appear before that august body on Thursday, March 21, during its 21st day sitting, to give a status report on the laying off of 13 percent (approximately 800 employees) by the second quarter by Firestone-Liberia operations, and the way forward. The sitting will be held in a regular or executive session, according to House Speaker Bhofal Chambers, but many persons are of the view that the Thursday’s session should be an open one, because of the sensitivity of the redundancy of 800 employees from Firestone-Liberia. Some of the lawmakers were demanding that the redundancy exercise be included on the agenda. This is frustrating,” Rep. Jones said. “Unfortunately, these measures alone will not be enough to restore Firestone-Liberia to profitability.
