Aviation workers issue MMA2 seven-day picket notice over mass sack ⬇️
The union, under the aegis of Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria , described the mass sack as victimisation of comrades pressing for implementation of Condition of Service .
Lately, agreement had been reached to implement the provision of CoS. However, on October 14, 2022, BASL issued 34 union leaders and three other workers compulsory 10- day “leave of absence”, with a guarantee that all their entitlements would not be tampered with. Two weeks later, they were all fired.
In a notice sent to BASL at the weekend, and sighted by The Guardian, ATSSSAN said: “We view your 10-day leave of absence letters to our executives and members as a clear victimisation of members, who have made bold demands for their rights. In the light of the above, we demand as follows: the payment of terminal entitlements to all deserving staff without further delay.
“Relying on our pending ultimatums and notices, in respect of some of our pending demands, we, hereby, avail BASL management seven days, from today, within which to comply with the above demands, failing which we will do all that we deem expedient in the circumstance.”
