NAAPE was pushed to the wall with the unilateral decisions of airlines to axe pilots and engineers’ wages and introduce wage disparities without consultation with the concerned workers. Nigeria Airlines
The Guardian learnt that Sirika had appealed to the union to suspend picketing of Bristow Helicopters to allow for dialogue over the matter and others at a meeting scheduled for the Ministry of Labour office in Lagos yesterday.
The body urged the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority to prevail on all airline operators to stop alleged mal-treatment of pilots, just as it urged the Federal Government to speedily release the promised relief package for the industry to further save jobs and businesses. President of NAAPE, Abednego Galadima, said the association was pushed to the wall with the unilateral decisions of airlines to axe pilots and engineers’ wages and introduced wage disparities without consultation with the concerned workers.
Galadinma said the scheme was to casualise pilots and engineers, describing it as condemnable as it amounts to violent extortion, the deployment of the instrument of intimidation and harassment of workers in the workplace. Galadinma further alleged that some of the operators were bent on displacing their Nigerian staff in favour of expatriates, citing that Air Peace had already employed foreigners in place of sacked Nigerian pilots.
