Protesting Arik Air Workers Shut Down Lagos Operations by DONSMITH123(op): 10:46am On Dec 20, 2016
The staff of Arik Air are currently staging a protest at the domestic terminal of the Murtala Muhammed airport over the airline’s failure to pay seven months salary arrears and other anti-labour practices.

The protesters displayed placards containing messages communicating their grievances.

The National Union of Air Transport Employees, Air Transport Senior Staff Services Association of Nigeria and the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers had in a joint statement on Monday ordered its members to commence the strike.

The unions said the strike would continue indefinitely, until their demands are met by the management of Arik Air.

Their demands include total unionisation of Arik Air employees, recall of all sacked employees and payment of salary arrears for seven months and a commitment to pay salaries as at when due, henceforth.”

They also called for the immediate review of all employee remunerations which had remained the same since the inception of Arik Air, over ten years ago.

What's with FG and Arik air?

This is a case of sacked workers who felt their entitlement aren't granted and decided to stage a protest.

Does PMB now control private firms??

The staff are fighting for payment of salary arrears and salary increase at the same time huh

If the company could afford the current salary scale, would it be owing seven months salary?

I think the devil is really using you against God's people and the church.
To say I listen to your programme on sunday morning with passion and this is what you have turned into fighting against pastors and preachers of the gospel of Christ, then I think you have to watch it or your end will be nearer than you think.

The Nigerian aviation sector is plagued with extortionist..planes have to bribe before they are certified to FLY, planes have to bribe before their flight plans are approved, they have to bribe so Nahco can handle their baggage well, even pilots have to bribe before the flight hour logs are approved ..man its a dog eat dog world there

if airlines are in distress they need govt intervention, that is why the govt is there its not just to collect tax and make noise on newspaper pages that it is fighting corruption, Banks and Big bussiness were bailed out when US were having a recession.
