The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC has issued a 2-week ultimatum to 3 airlines including Turkish Airlines, Air Peace and Bristow Helicopters, to reinstate the workers sacked from their establishments.
A statement signed by NLC President, Ayuba Wabba condemned and rejected the recent sack of 69 pilots by Air Peace, 100 pilots by Bristow Helicopters and the National Union of Air Transport Employees, NUATE executives who are the staff of Turkish Airlines.
The statement described the sack by the airlines as ‘highly insensitive, callous and unjust”, while calling on the managements of Turkish Airlines, Air Peace and Bristow Helicopters to reinstate all the sacked workers within 2 weeks.
Wabba who lambasted Turkish Airlines in particular for laying off executive members of the sector labour union for fighting for workers rights and Air Peace for rejecting unionisation, warned that the NLC would not cease from fighting and protecting workers rights.
