Agency (NAMA) have suspended their
industrial action slated to start on Monday to
press home their demand for additional welfare
package.
The workers decided to suspend the planned
strike after a meeting between the management
and union leaders.
Supo Atobatele, the General Manager, Public
Affairs of NAMA, disclosed this in a statement
he issued in Lagos after the meeting which
ended late on Friday.
"The meeting is however expected to continue
on Monday to further deliberate on issues at
stake after the parties agreed that dialogue
remains the best way of resolving industrial
crisis,'' he said.
Mr. Atobatele said the meeting was attended by
representatives of the National Union of Air
Transport Employees (NUATE), Air Transport
Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, and
Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations,
Civil Service Technical and Recreational
Services Employees.
Abdulkareem Motajo, who led the team from
NUATE, was quoted as saying during the two-
hour deliberation, that the union leaders were
not interested in creating problem for the
management.
"The ultimatum earlier issued was to send a
friendly warning that there were issues yet to be
resolved," he said.
NAMA's Director of Human Resources, Uwem
Akangson, who represented Nnamdi Udoh, the
agency's managing director, said the meeting
was necessary due to communication gap
between the management and unions.
"This had made it difficult to appreciate the
extent of achievement on the implementation
of the new salary package for the workers,'' he
said.
