Banks pay huge salaries. Bankers dont realize how huge their take homes are till they resign to start a business.

That is when you will find out how difficult it is for a private business to generate N200,000 as profit monthly.

In the training school when handed an offer letter bearing N1,800,000 per annum, thats just figure, they dont know the value.

Earning money and growing wealth are two different things. Sack them today, 3 months later, they are borrowing.

BY Victor Ahiuma-Young, reporting from Geneva, Switzerland GENEVA – ORGANISED Labour, Thursday, vowed to cripple operations in the banking sector over ongoing mass retrenchment of workers, throwing its weight behind the threat by the Federal Government through the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, to withdraw the licenses of banks that breached its directive to halt further retrenchment. This came as Labour issued a 21 day ultimatum to the affected banks to recall the sacked workers or risked unprecedented industrial action.

At a joint briefing in Geneva, leaders of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, insisted that they would picket banks that indulge in further mass sack of their employees, saying that the Federal Government was right to have threatened erring banks with withdrawal of their licenses if they refused to halt the gale of mass retrenchment of workers.

Speaking at a a briefing at the venue of the on-going 105th International Labour Conference, ILC, in Geneva, Switzerland, both Labour centres contended that just like the banks disobeyed the laws of the country and retrenched workers “we will picket them to show them that they do not have monopoly of law of disobedience.”

Both Ayuba Wabba and the TUC President, Bobboi Kaigama, who frowned at the refusal of the banks to allow their workers to unionized, said the pronouncement of the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige was expected, arguing that it was not the responsibility of the Senate Committee on Banking to invite the Minister and others for a meeting since the issue fell within industrial relations.

N L C should deeply check what banks are doing in Nigeria and also go to extra mile to ban Bureau De Change operation in Nigeria so that we shouldn't allow small group of lazy people to destroy our economy through speculation. Naira is the only legal tender in Nigeria.

Though I'm not deceived by this miscreants called ORGANISED LABOUR, they are not reliable body but some set of nincompoops.. they should just F.uck away.. but i will repeat my statement on the thread where ngige threatened those useless banks. and thats it below

Truth be told.. Normally, Our banks are useless, they want cheap labour, they set unrealistic target, so they take opportunity of situations like this to sack people and overlabour the few ones left in the system. Go find out about all these banks sacking, some of their Executive director's take home is 6/7m per month and yet they will team up to sack an Executive trainee who receives just 150k per month or a contract staff who get 60/70k atfer several years in the system. Banks can still cope in this economy. They are lying to most people about their inability to pay staff. Let them also cut the amount being paid to the top staff. Banking sector has the most corrupt, selfish, inhumane and slaverymasters leaderships. This so called bank's management want to take virtually all the benefits. If possible, they want free labour. You don't just want to know what banks' directors get as profit sharing allowance. You may faint!

This issue has become complicated. Only if someone listened to me when I raised the awareness and warning on this post:

To me, the best solution would be for FG and organized labor to dialog with the banks on this issue with a view of understanding the level of downsizing we're talking about, the impact on the economy and labor market etc. I just hope the FG will be sincere enough in this matter cos nobody trusts their word again, just the other day, Shell accused them of being insincere in the Ogoni land cleanup.

NLC should go and sit down joor! Na so them boast over fuel increase, where are they on that? Banks have not sacked any staff but only eliminating "ghost workers" just as the Federal Government is doing. What has NLC done about the 45000 staff sacked by FG and termed them ghost workers?
