Air transport workers call off strike
Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN) on Tuesday called off the industrial action against Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL) over the sack of 34 members of the union without due process.
Deputy General Secretary of the union, Frances Akinjole, in a statement in Lagos on Wednesday, disclosed that the union ended the strike following the intervention of the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the Federal Airport Authority ( FAAN), the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) and other airport security agencies at a meeting in Lagos.
“The strike that was embarked upon on Nov. 1 against the Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited has been called off pursuant the acceptance by the company to recall the laid off members of our union and an undertaking to pay their salaries.
“The agreement was reached at a meeting empaneled by the Ministry of Labour & Employment, NCAA, FAAN, NAMA and airport security agencies,” Akinjole said.
ATSSSAN shut down MMA2 terminal in the early hours on Tuesday to commence strike.
