ArcelorMittal Liberia said that it is aware of the recent ruling by the Ministry of Labor in Liberia in relation to an ongoing dispute, involving claims to entitlements going back in some cases more than 10 years, with a group calling itself "Aggrieved Former Contractors". ArcelorMittal Liberia said “In September 2020, the Company settled a dispute with former redundant ArcelorMittal Liberia said workers in a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the workers and the Government of Liberia. An important part of that agreement, which was fully supported by the Government of Liberia, was that it explicitly excluded contractors, temporary and casual workers from having any legitimate claim.”ArcelorMittal Liberia said “Despite the "Aggrieved Former Contractors" being unable to provide any evidence to support their claim of direct employment by ArcelorMittal Liberia for a period of 3.5 years that would entitle them to conversion to a permanent employee, ArcelorMittal Liberia agreed to make a contribution to an industry fund for the benefit of former contractors as a means of social support.”ArcelorMittal Liberia remains committed to being a responsible corporate citizen.
