NUATE sets to picket ASL over alleged workers’ enslavement, others
The National Union of air Transport Employees (NUATE) has concluded plans to picket Skycare Catering Services (ASL) to protest what the union described as “inhuman, unjust and unlawful” condition of work as the aviation company.
The group stated that such conditions include but not limited to employment without employment letters, no terms of engagement or conditions of service, arbitrary terminations, victimisation of the basis of joining and holding office 1 a trade union, refusal to recognise a registered trade union and other forms of enslavement.
NUATE further stated that all these actions contravene various Nigerian laws.
In a notice signed by the General Secretary of NUATE, Ocheme Aba, sated July 30th, 2019 and made available to Woleshadarenews, he directed all workers of ASL Limited to join the picketing of the company with effect from midnight of July 30th, 2019.
Aba disclosed that the picketing was therefore inevitable, explaining that all efforts to solicit the cooperation of the management of Skycare had been unsuccessful.
The ASL has been going through tough times in recent times culminating in the delisting by the Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE) of the entire issued share capital of Newrest ASL Nigeria Plc from its daily official list.
The Exchange in a notice obtained by the Woleshadarenews, said: “Further to our market bulletin of 27 February 2019 with reference number: NSE/RD/LRD/MB17/19/02/27 notifying dealing members of the Nigerian Stock Exchange’s approval of the application for voluntary delisting of the entire share capital of Newrest
ASL Nigeria Plc (Newrest ASL or the Company), and subsequent suspension of trading in the shares of the Company, please be informed that the entire issued share capital of Newrest ASL were delisted from the Daily Official List of The Exchange on 13 May 2019”.
Following operational challenges, Newrest ASL Nigeria recently applied for voluntary delisting from the Daily Official List of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).
