Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and its affiliate, Association of Senior Staff of Banks Insurance and Financial Institutions, ASSBIFI, workers and other activists, have shut the operations of Union Homes Plc over alleged unprocedural sack of 300 workers and breach of collective agreement.
.
According to the aggrieved labour leaders, the management of the company had in the past five months unjustly terminated 300 workers, while over 100 others were forced to resign.
.
They demanded, among others, immediate payment of legacy funds to individual Staff Retirement Savings Accounts, RSA, with different Pension Fund Administrators, PFAs.
.
Immediate withdrawal of termination letters from staff unjustly removed to be placed by withdrawal of service or disengagement letters; immediate payment of redundancy benefits to staff whose employments were unjustly terminated; immediate payment of correctly calculated gratuity benefits to all staff unjustly terminated and forced to resign their appointments.
300 workers is just something very bad I must say. It's not a good one at all. Very bad one I must say. Something has to be done!
