The Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil Service Technical and Recreational Services Employees (AUPCTRE) has vowed to shutdown the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) from midnight of Tuesday, January 12, 2021 following the expiration of a 21-day ultimatum issued to the management of the commission.
The union in a 21-day strike notice dated December 18, 2020, addressed to the Registrar General of CAC and signed by the General Secretary of AUPCTRE, Comrade Musa Ekpo, frowned at the chief executive’s alleged anti-workers policies in the commission.
The union listed some of the grievances of the workers to include lack of career progression, poor welfare and injustice against the staff.
Others include denial of earned 2019 promotion arrears, stoppage of all staff loans among others.
Speaking with labour correspondents, Thursday, chairman of AUPTCTRE in FCT, Comrade Aliyu Maradu said the union had written letters to both the board chairman and Registrar General to address the situation but no attention was paid to address the pains of the workers.
He stated, “Arising from the above and in discharging our responsibility based on responsive and responsible Trade Union, guided by the principles of collective bargaining, due process, public service rules and strict adherence to the union and constitution of Nigeria, the Union is hereby giving the management of CAC a 21 days ultimatum starting from Monday 21 December 2020 to address all the issues raised above, in order to douse already tensed industrial relations atmosphere and possibly avert a looming industrial crisis in CAC.”
