Arik Air, in the face of the union’s threat to down tools today Monday, September 14, 2020 have written to the Minister of Labour and Employment appealing for an intervention in seeking for the understanding and cooperation of the workers’ unions; while explaining some key issues in the disagreement This is just as the airline states that the issues in dispute cannot pass the test of fairness and the unions’ leadership has abused their position without exhausting various channels of engagement, discussion, and consensus.
Nigerianflightdeck obtained a letter titled: Re-Unions in Arik Air Threaten to Down Tools September 14 dated September 11, 2020 written by Chief Executive Officer, Arik Air in Receivership, Captain Roy Ilegbodu directed to The Honorable Minister of Labour and Employment which had in copy the Honorable Minister of Aviation, and the Director General, NCAA. The letter in part strongly condemned the planned action stating: “We strongly believe that the threat of strike action without an exhaustive use of the various channels of engagement, discussion, consensus and understanding is faulty and unlikely to yield the best outcomes for staff, the company and its faithful passengers.
It is in fact an abuse of the position of union leadership as the issues in dispute cannot pass the test of fairness and only affect, in the short term, less than 20 staff out of a work force of over 1600. It went further to explain that prior to Arik Air Ltd going into Receivership employment letters basically detailed the approved emoluments of staff however, since the commencement of the receivership, this has been expanded by the introduction of policies to create best practice work environments to deliver top notch services.
The letter also stated that in addition, management has been in discussion with various staff groups and unions to have these policies codified into Staff Conditions of Service but the only area of conflict was a request by unions for a terminal benefit scheme over and above the requirements of the Pension Act.
