PHCN Workers Threaten To Strike, Give FG 4-day Ultimatum by Jbluv55(m): 5:31pm On Oct 28, 2013
Over 2,000 workers of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) on Monday 28th October, embarked on protest over the delay in payment of severance benefits to about 55 per cent of the workforce.

The workers, under the aegis of the National
Union of Electrical Employees (NUEE), staged the protest at the Eko and Ikeja Electricity Distribution Companies and threatened to
commence indefinite strike on November 1.

The reports reaching the union is that majority of banks cannot give financial backing to the schedule sent to them by the Federal Government.

“This means that government does not have money
’’, Mr Adeleke Ibrahim, the Chairman of Lagos Chapter of NUEE, who led the protest, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

The union official said that if the workers’
entitlements were not paid by the end of October, the entire workforce of PHCN in all the 36 states would embark on indefinite strike.
Ibrahim said that the union was not against
privatisation of the company, “but government should pay all workers’ entitlements before the new owners will commence operation’’.

He appealed to government to ensure that all the agreements it signed with the workers were met to avert the strike. Ibrahim said that some of the issues in contention included non-payment of
retirement savings to pension fund administrators and non-remittance of dues of two per cent deducted from workers’ salaries to the unions.

Others are non-payment of benefits of retirees who disengaged in 2011 and non- regularisation of service of some casual workers.

NAN reports that the workers, who carried
placards with different inscriptions, locked the gates to the two offices and prevented people from entering the premises. (NAN)

I think that shouldn't be the point but the fact that our (this) government seems fond of not honouring agreements just like it did with ASUU and that makes it a pity. You could be any of them you know.

And BTW the same government has money to assist other countries and to sponsor itself on pilgrimage but no money to pay staff? That is unfair. sad

You are very correct my broda and I think if Nigeria was human then he may soon die sad if not given the required drugs soon.
