On February 12, Chevron staff in Dhaka and at Bibiyana, Jalalabad and Moulvibazar gas fields wore black badges in a peaceful protest to press home their demands. At issue are change of control compensation, end benefits and 5% of the Workers Profit Participation Fund (WPPF), which the Chevron Bangladesh Employee Union (CBEU) says is due to its members. The CBEU has taken the WPPF profit sharing issue to the High Court. The union was registered on January 10 to represent Chevron Bangladesh’s employees. A Chevron official, asking not to be named, said work continued as usual despite the protest.
