The National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers has directed all its members engaged with Bristow Helicopters to embark on a strike action scheduled for August 3, 2020.
This development is coming after all labour matters and negotiations between both parties broke down, despite a preceding three-day warning strike.
The union accused Bristow of: “Insistence on benchmarking salaries of national pilots and engineers to an obsolete rate of N345/$1 coupled with their recent insistence on their proposal to implement N355/$1- a rate which is not obtainable on any legal foreign exchange window in the world while still paying expatriates their full remuneration in USD.
“Odious laying off of young cadet and trainee engineers after several years of tearful sacrificial toiling on the basis of a promised career in the company. The union said it had consistently engaged the management of Bristow to sort these issues but failed to make headway.
