Strike: Aviation workers ground activity at airport
Aviation workers have embarked on a two-day warning strike over the non-implementation of the salary increase contained in an agreement with the National Salaries and Income Wages Commission (NSIWC) and the Minimum Wage Consequential Adjustment since 2019.
“Accordingly, all workers in NAMA, NCAA, NiMet and NCAT are hereby directed to embark on a two-day warning strike on the 9th and 10th of May, 2022. Should the warning go unheeded, an indefinite strike shall be called soon after,” a memo by the workers explained.
The workers disclosed they had reached their “yield point” as they could no longer continue working without proper remuneration.
“Consequently, our unions have no alternative than to embark on an industrial action to press home our demand for justice and equity, especially considering the long-suffering, patience and forbearance on the part of our members, which has now reached yield point,” they added.
The development came on the heels of the suspension of the planned strike by major Nigerian airlines.
