Techfile: Bank Workers Move To Embark On Nationwide Strike - biography
Barely one month after university lecturers and
resident doctors called off their nationwide industrial
actions, bank workers under the aegis of Association
of Senior Staff of Banks, Insurance and Financial
Institutions (ASSBIFI) have given notice to the Federal
Government of their intention to down tools over the
recent sack of some of their members.
An official of the association, who disclosed this on
condition of anonymity, said the sack of 281 workers
by one of the old generation banks, was not justified
as it did not align with the Labour Act and Collective
Agreement.To drive home its resolve, the source said
the association had forwarded a letter to the Federal
Government through the Minister of Labour and
Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, notifying it of the
association’s intention to commence the industrial
action beginning with the affected bank on October
24, before inviting other banks to participate.
According to the letter dated October 11, 2017, and
referenced ANS/ORG/ GO/YOS/338, which was
obtained by our correspondent, the association noted
that its decision followed previous notice already
given to the bank on September 29, after several
letters and meetings to enable both parties to resolve
the impasse over the workers’ improper lay off.
According to the letter, “We will commence our
action by calling on fellow Nigerians to make some
withdrawals from their accounts with the bank to
enable them to have enough provisions for the period
of the industrial dispute. “Also, if there is no quick
response, other banks will be called out on sympathy
strike by the association.”
New Telegraph recalls that in the last one year, over
10,000 workers lost their jobs across all the banks in
the country. A recent statistics released by National
Bureau of Statistics (NBS) revealed that 8,663
workers lost their jobs in the first half of 2017. The
data showed that an average of 360 people were
sacked every week from January to June 2017.
The figures were higher in the first quarter and lower
in the second. It was also revealed that while the
8,663 lost their jobs, more contract staff were
employed during the period. In the first quarter of
2017, there were 174 executive staff, but the figure
reduced to 161 in the second quarter. From 20,483
senior staff in the first quarter, the number dropped
to 19,826 in the second quarter.
The drop was larger in the junior staff category
where the number dropped to 33,783 in the second
quarter from 36,202 in the first quarter. However, the
number of contract staff increased from 20,237 in the
first quarter to 21,837 in the second quarter. The job
losses have continued despite warning by the Federal
Government in 2016 that banks should desist from
sacking their staff.
