UPDATE: Aviation workers have suspended strike
On Monday, February 7th, we published a news update (click here to read it) about proposed strike action by Nigerian aviation worker unions including the National Union of Air Transport Employee (NUATE), Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN), Association of Nigeria Aviation Professional (ANAP).
However, due to a meeting held with the unions, the strike action has been suspended. The following screenshots show the outcome of the meeting as posted by @Eonsintelligenc on the microblogging platform Twitter.
The union leaders had earlier said: “Our Unions variously issued ultimatums to the Federal Ministry of Aviation and the six aviation agencies over the vexed issues of failure to release negotiated Conditions of service of the Agencies since 2013 and non-implementation of Minimum Wage/Consequential Adjustment since 2019. All the ultimatums expired 31st January 2019 without the demands being met in any form.”
