Aviation workers have suspended their planned industrial action billed to commence today.
This followed a Memorandum of Settlement reached by the workers and the Federal Ministry of Aviation in the early hours of Tuesday.
Both parties signed the agreement at the end of a conciliation meeting held at the instance of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment.
The meeting which was presided over by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, discussed the non-implementation of the Minimum Wage consequential adjustment in the aviation parastatals since 2019 and the non-approval/release of the reviewed conditions of service in the parastatals.
Briefing journalists on the agreements reached, Ngige said the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, NSIWC, was requested to issue a service-wide circular informing all organisations in the public and private sectors that they are bound to implement the National Minimum Wage of 2019/consequential adjustments. He said the meeting concluded that all the agencies that had not paid the minimum wage allowances should write to the NSIWC through the Ministry of Aviation for consideration/evaluation
