Nigeria Communication Satellite (NIGCOMSAT) workers have threatened to embark on strike if the management failed to review their terms and condition of service.

The workers, under the Senior Staff Association of Statutory Corporations and Government Owned Companies (SSASCGOC), have therefore issued   a 7-day ultimatum to NIGCOMSAT to negotiate with its leadership or face indefinite strike.

In a letter dated November 21, 2018 and addressed to the managing director of NIGCOMSAT, the union frowned at the total refusal of the management to negotiate the review of the terms and condition of service of the company’s staff members.

The union, therefore, warned that it would have no other option than to apply full trade union actions to press home its demands.

The  General Secretary of SSASCGOC, Comrade Ayo Olorunfemi, in a  chat with journalists,  expressed worry over the plight of NIGCOMSAT workers and the refusal of the management to respond appropriately to the issue.

He  said that the workers have been mobilized for the strike just as he urged the management to do the needful to avert the impending indefinite strike action.
