127 Liberian contractors get full time employment at ArcelorMittal Liberia

Three excited female operators who have transitioned to FTEs

MONROVIA – ArcelorMittal Liberia has transitioned 127 Liberian contractors to full-time employees, offering them greater job security. Many of the newly employed workers come from the company’s mining communities in Nimba, Bong, and Grand Bassa.

The majority of these employees are operators of Articulated Dump Trucks (ADT). According to some of the elated workers, they had been on the job for three to six months following training courses provided by ArcelorMittal Liberia’s Mobile Training Section.

During their training, they received a monthly allowance covering transportation, food, and housing. Upon completing the program, they were initially offered Short-Term Employment (STE) and have now been elevated to permanent employees, or Fixed-Term Employees (FTE), as of this February.

Although they had all been hoping for full employment, the official pronouncement and distribution of employment letters came as a surprise to the ADT operators. They believe this transition is a significant step by AML in improving the livelihoods of Liberians.

Melvina Sonah, a young female operator, expressed her excitement over the new opportunity.

“Right now, heaven has come to earth for me. I now have the means to support my family by putting food on the table, paying my children’s tuition, and handling other necessities. I am so grateful to be an AML employee because it comes with benefits such as school fees, rice, and other essentials,” she said.

Sarah M. Seakel, another female operator, expressed similar appreciation, emphasizing that she now feels secure. At the same time, she intends to take her job seriously, knowing that many others are seeking the same opportunity.

Similarly, Junifort Mantor described the ADT Operator’s Training as a great opportunity, stating, “Being an AML employee is a privilege that many are seeking. For me to be among the employees today gives me hope for the future and the ability to support my family.”

Momoh B. Moore, Mines Superintendent, also welcomed the transition, stating that it eases the uncertainties the operators previously faced and will enhance productivity.

“In an environment like the mines, operating machinery requires focus and peace of mind. What AML management has done leaves no doubt that these operators will work with dedication while adhering to safety rules and policies,” Moore said.

The transition of the 127 employees was carried out in line with business improvements. According to Human Resources Business Partner, Attorney Patience Jordan Kargbah, more contractors are expected to be employed as AML continues to expand. She emphasized that as business conditions improve in terms of production and safety, the company remains committed to creating additional employment opportunities.
