I felt I needed to send this post to sensitize people who weren't aware that it was actually ex-intercontinental staff who fought for better disengagement benefits and not any union. It's a group of people who feel things should be done the right way. We all sit down and allow stuff to be thrown at us or accept things the way they are. Well it's half the battle won with the enhanced package. Come to ASSBIFI office at Alausa, Ikeja on 16th February,2010 at 9am to know about our next line of action.

16th of February

16th March. Excuse the error.

INTERCONTINENTAL BANK OUTSOURCES 3,400 SUPPORT STAFF

Intercontinental Bank outsources 3,400 support staff
By Agency Reporter, Published: Thursday, 1 Apr 2010

Intercontinental Bank has announced the outsourcing of 3,400 members of its support staff cadre as part of the repositioning exercise embarked upon by the bank. The outsourcing exercise is one of the key elements of the bank’s Project Transformation initiative.

According to a statement from the bank on Wednesday, the exercise was finally carried out after due consultation with the National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions Employees and the local chapter of NUBIFIE, where the terms of outsourcing were agreed upon.

It said the exercise, which was done based on clearly –defined criteria agreed by the union and the bank, would see the affected staff enjoying the same remuneration and allowances they were enjoying while in direct employ of the bank.

This is in addition to free medicare under the existing Health Insurance Scheme. All affected workers received immediate severance package as well as immediate employment through the outsourcing agency.

It will be recalled that the bank last year unveiled a three-phased “Project Transformation” strategy aimed at stabilising, rebuilding and consolidating the bank for greater efficiency and profitability. The Bank is committed to pursuing bold and necessary changes that will fully restore value and confidence to all our stakeholders.

Call 08032014445 for all the info u need. The pple at the forefront of this battle were offered 'incentives' of around N10m each and reabsorption but they refused and stood on our side. God bless 'em. Cheers!

@ trae z, kindly explain that piece of information
as i can not put the pieces together.
Are they saying people have been recalled now as
contract staff or they are planning to? Please kindly

any lead.

the staffs that were sacked and were and given letters as contract staffs were the support staffs ( drivers, secretarys, dispacth riders and all other support staffs) they were paid off and also 50% of the pay off was used to offset their debt. they were also reapointed as contract staffs )
