Telecommunications and Communications Senior Staff Association of Nigeria will begin a three-day warning strike tomorrow.
The General Secretary of the association, Okonu Abdullahi, explained that his members took strike option to protest arbitrary sack of workers and casualisation,adding that subcontracting or outsourcing which had bedeviled the industry could no longer be allowed to continue as it had shortchanged workers.
He added:“As we speak, all indications are that we should be going on a three-day warning of industrial action on Wednesday, 16th June 2021, as none of our demands have been met.We have tried speaking to the telecommunications companies at different times, but we met with a brick wall.”
In an earlier statement,the union said that it would mobilise its members for a three-day warning industrial action beginning midnight on Tuesday (today).
It alleged breach of freedom of association, right of workers to organise, victimisation of union members, poor and discriminatory remuneration, abuse of expatriate quota, intimidation, harassment and verbal assaults of employees among other anti-labour practices.
