Aviation Security Workers Embark on Nationwide Strike Today

The National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) has directed the Aviation Security and Logistics sub-sector to proceed on an immediate strike beginning today.

The strike is over poor wages of workers.

In a circular signed by NUATE General Secretary, Ocheme Aba, the union drew attention to the monthly N30,000 earned by workers, describing it as paltry.

Mr Aba noted that all efforts to negotiate improved wages had failed and stressed that N30,000 is not sufficient in today’s Nigeria.
