Strike: NAHCO begins talks on salary raise

Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO), whose staff staged a walkout targeted at salary raise on Monday, said it held a meeting involving its management, regulators, unions, the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority and State Security Services to resolve the conflict.

NAHCO said in a statement on Wednesday that the industrial action by workers of the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) and Air Transport Senior Staff Services Association (ATSSSA) also aimed at resisting apparent delay by NAHCO’s management in granting the wishes of the aggrieved staff.

The ground handling service company said the protest breached “the interim injunction granted by the National Industrial Court on 20th January 2023.”
