Four aviation unions have announced their intention to join
the Nigeria Labour Congress in its strike on Monday.
In a statement on Friday, the unions directed workers in the
aviation sector to withdraw their services from Monday, September 28.
This means that the airspace may not be open for operations
on Monday.
The four unions joining the strike are the National Union of
Air Transport Employees, National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers,
Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria and the Association
of Nigeria Aviation Professionals.
“As you are aware,
the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria
(TUC) have declared indefinite nationwide strike action with effect from
Monday, September 28, 2020,” the statement read.
“Our unions as above named are in full support of the strike
action.
“As such all workers in the aviation sector are hereby
directed to withdraw their services at all aerodromes nationwide as from 00hrs
of 28th September 2020 until otherwise communicated by the NLC/TUC or our unions.
“All workers shall
comply.”
The NLC is protesting the removal of fuel subsidy and the
recently implemented cost-reflective electricity tariff.
Other unions that have announced their intention to join the
strike are Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) and the Nigeria Union of
Local Government Employees (NULGE).
