The National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) has directed Aviation Security (AVSEC) and logistics sub-sector to commence immediate strike from tomorrow following poor wages.
The union in a circular sent to the Director-General Civil Aviation (DGCA), Managing Director, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Commissioner of Police, Airports Command, the Airport Commandant, Director, Department of State Security (DSS), Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos Command and obtained by DAILY INDEPENDENT, said that the withdrawal of service was inevitable.
The circular, which was signed by Comrade Ocheme Aba, the General Secretary, NUATE, lamented that AVSEC who are mostly graduates are paid paltry N30,000 monthly.
He explained that all efforts to negotiate improved wages for their members in the past had failed and wondered why N30,000 could be sufficient for the personnel in today’s Nigeria. (Daily Independent)
