The National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) has directed that the intended strike by Aviation Security (AVSEC) be postponed for one week.
In a circular issued on Tuesday, the union urged the Aviation Security (AVSEC) and logistics sub-sector to go on strike on Wednesday, August 16th, 2023, over their N30,000 monthly wage.
However, following the involvement of the Director General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the personnel were told to cease the strike in another circular issued on Wednesday.
The union said they have considered the request of the Director General and decided to grant a period of one week “to allow his effort to bear fruit.”
“Accordingly, the withdrawal of services that was earlier directed to commence today has been suspended for one week, effective today.
“We note the high level of mobilisation by the branches and our State Councils and commend the high state of solidarity among our members. Thank you all. We shall remain on standby, ready for any eventuality,” the union’s statement partly read.
