NLC Spits Fire Over Sacked Bank Workers

The Nigeria Labour Congress has issued a 14-days ultimatum to
six banks to recall all sacked workers or face a nationwide
industrial action.
The NLC said this in a letter to the managements of the six
banks, signed by the Deputy General Secretary, Mr. Chris Uyot,
on behalf of the President, Mr. Ayuba Wabba.
The congress issued the ultimatum following information by the
National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions
Employees that the banks embarked on arbitrary mass sacking
of workers without adherence to labour laws.
The letter reads: “I have been directed to notify you that we
have been informed by our affiliate union, the National Union
of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions Employees that
your bank has arbitrarily sacked a large number of workers
contrary to laid down procedures and the country’s extant
labour laws.
“In addition, you have also resisted unionisation of workers in
your bank despite spirited efforts by the union to amicably
engage you in the process.
“By this letter, we are giving your bank fourteen days
ultimatum commencing from Thursday 16th June, 2016 to
immediately recall all workers so sacked and allow unionisation
of workers in the bank or face industrial action, which may
include closure of your banks and all its outlets nationwide.
“While hoping our request meets your kind consideration, please,
accept our goodwill and best regards”.
The banks are Fidelity Bank, Diamond Bank, First City
Monument Bank, First Bank, Ecobank and Skye Bank.
