Aviation Unions Protest Ministerial Order on Revenue Payment
Two major aviation unions in Nigeria have kicked against a recent ministerial order that seeks to alter the payment of revenue in the industry. The unions, the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN) and the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE), have described the order as "unfair" and "anti-worker".
According to the unions, the ministerial order seeks to deduct a significant percentage of the revenue generated by airlines and other aviation stakeholders and pay it into a special account. The unions argue that this move is a ploy to further enrich the government at the expense of workers in the industry.
In a statement issued by the unions, they said: "We are shocked and dismayed by this latest attempt by the government to further exploit and oppress workers in the aviation industry. The ministerial order is a clear violation of the rights of workers and is designed to further enrich the government at the expense of the workers."
The unions also accused the government of failing to consult with them before issuing the order, saying that this is a clear breach of the principles of collective bargaining and social dialogue.
"We demand that the government rescinds this order and engages in meaningful dialogue with us to address the issues affecting the industry," the unions said.
The unions have also threatened to take industrial action if the government fails to address their concerns.
The ministerial order has been met with widespread criticism from stakeholders in the aviation industry, who argue that it is a recipe for disaster and will further exacerbate the challenges facing the industry.
The Nigerian government has been under pressure to address the challenges facing the aviation industry, including the high cost of aviation fuel, inadequate infrastructure, and corruption. However, the government's efforts to address these challenges have been met with resistance from various stakeholders in the industry.
It remains to be seen how the government will respond to the unions' demands and whether the ministerial order will be rescinded.
