Reacting, however, Idris described the dissolution as illegal, adding that Nami was only upset because the union was fighting for the rights of the employees and had refused to bend to the will of the management. He said, “We will challenge the so-called dissolution. The chairman has no power to proscribe any union. The FIRS is a public entity. The chairman told the public that the FIRS had surpassed its target and it is a tradition that at the end of every year, workers are appreciated through the payment of bonuses but he has failed to appreciate the staff.
“Also, we have promotion arrears of 2019 and 2020 and management has refused to say if arrears will be paid or not. We have a 2021 promotion exercise around the corner so there is carryover. The chairman doesn’t embrace career progression. He pays contractors but doesn’t pay staff entitlements.
