The Private Telecommunications and Communications Senior Staff Association of Nigeria has threatened to begin an indefinite strike on April 4.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the union announced this in a statement signed by its General Secretary, Mr Okonu Abdullahi, on Tuesday.
Abdullahi said that the union resolved to go on strike because of the alleged unresolved issues between the union and sub-contractors linked with Huawei Technologies Nigeria Ltd.
He also said that efforts by it and Ministry of Labour and Employment to resolve its concerns did not work as the companies failed to make themselves available for conciliatory meetings.
“It is in the light of this that the leadership of the union directed its members to begin an indefinite strike effective from April 4.
“We implore Nigerians to bear with us during the period of the strike and the discomfort it may bring to them.
“Also important is the involvement of the union in the negotiation of the collective bargaining agreement for the benefit of union members, among others,”he said.
