Huawei, one of the major employers of labour in the telecom sector, appears to have created unhealthy working conditions for staff, most especially those outsourced, and this has been affecting workers’ welfare of late. Despite the fact that the company is operating on outsource ratio, and expatriate to local employee ratio, the level of degradation in remuneration standards has gotten worse.

Workers have been clamouring for an upward adjustment of salary structure since the start of Covid-l9, considering the multiplier effect it had on the global economy, but their demands have yielded no result.

Also, the management is yet to look into the critical impact of the fuel subsidy removal and how it will affect the workers.
Since May 29, when the fuel subsidy removal was announced by President Bola Tinubu, the bulk of outsourced HUAWEI employees have engaged the management on the review of their remuneration, in line with the current economic realities, but it has also not yielded any positive result.
Employees have been clamouring for salary increments even before the subsidy removal but only N30,000 was added to the salary of some staff, according to an employee of RGS global company.

“A lot of staff have resigned, and many more are doing the same at the slightest opportunity. However, many others are stuck with Huawei, considering the fact that the organisation have a monopoly of handling services for all network operators in Nigeria,” an employee who preferred to be anonymous said.

“If you are a transmission operations engineer, there are chances that you would work with Huawei. This has led to Huawei enslaving staff and paying salaries that can’t sustain them based on the present reality in Nigeria. This is
an act of wickedness and it is at this junction that the federal government must intervene in order to prevent Huawei from maltreating their staff.

“Interestingly, most of the staff are contract staff and are paid peanuts with reduced leave of 10 working days for outsourced staff, compared to full-time staff who enjoy 15 working days leave.

“Bizarrely enough, employees are not allowed to have a union. It’s a shame that the Chinese-owned Huawei are treating our highly skilled labour force like slaves, all because of the monopoly they have on telecommunications services in Nigeria. Members of staff are yet to be informed that a token of N30,000 monthly payment will be added as a palliative to cushion the hardship being felt by the removal of the fuel subsidy.”

The staff added that Huawei has refused to review the take home of long-term employees, who are the pillar of operations but prefers to bring in new
employees and pay them well.

One of the employees also said some staff who run four-day shifts (including mothers) have resulted in sleeping in the office in a bid to reduce the cost of transportation. Many in this category only go home when they are off-duty at the end of their shift.

“We are appealing to the government to break this monopoly and ensure that standard labour practices are being followed in Huawei,” the employee urged the Nigerian government

@OP I understand your pain as this cuts across other firms with low interest of staff renumeration once you are in despite you performance/work input.
Just keep hoping you and your colleagues see better offer.
