-PATEL trade union assertsThe Acting Chairman of PATEL, Dominic Nimley, has described the Freeport of Monrovia as a slaughter zone for Liberian businesses. Mr. Nimley said the Freeport of Monrovia is a slaughter zone for Liberian businesses because its operations are taking most locals out of business. There are new measures that are currently being introduced at the Port that are inimical to the survival of local businesses, he noted. They could no longer bear the high tariffs and incidental tariffs that were placed on goods imported by Liberian businesses at the port. The trade union chairman noted that the 100 percent retailer right that is exclusively for Liberian businesses is still being violated blatantly.
