Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The National Union of Air Transport Employees, NUATE, has vowed to picket the offices of airlines across the country for disallowing their staff from joining trade unions.<\/p>\n

Mr Ben Nnabue, the national president of NUATE, disclosed this on Monday during the national campaign for the unionisation of private domestic airlines in Nigeria in Lagos.<\/p>\n

Nnabue told the workers that the union had received the backing of the International Transport Workers Federation, ITF, based in London, on unionisation.<\/p>\n

According to him, it is against labour law for some airlines to base employment conditions upon not joining a trade union.<\/p>\n

He said that those who threatened to sack their workers if they joined unions were acting contrary to Nigerian laws.<\/p>\n

Nnabue recalled that participants at the last global labour unions conference held in Singapore observed that a lot of organisations were not unionised.<\/p>\n

He said that this was what informed the mandate to ensure that slave labour was eliminated on the African continent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Nigeria, we have come to terms with the reality that the majority of our domestic airlines do not want their workers to join unions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile some have allowed their staff to unionise, other airlines, at the point of entrance, warn their staff against joining any trade union of their choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been on this for the past five years. We have reported to the ministers of Labour and Aviation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
