The Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN), on Tuesday, ended its industrial action against Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL) over the sacking of 34 members of the union without recourse to due process.
The Deputy General Secretary of the union, Mr. Frances Akinjole, disclosed this through a statement issued in Lagos on Wednesday.
There was heavy traffic on the link road leading to the international terminal when ATSSSAN shut down MMA2 terminal in the early hours on Tuesday, November 1.
The face-off affected passengers, as several of them missed their flights due to the actions of the union.
Akinjole said the union ended the strike following the intervention of the Ministry of Labour & Employment, Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the Federal Airport Authority ( FAAN), Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) and other airport security agencies at a meeting in Lagos.
“The strike that was embarked upon on November 1 against the Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited has been called off pursuant the acceptance by the company to recall the laid off members of our union and an undertaking to pay their salaries.
“The agreement was reached at a meeting empaneled by the Ministry of Labour & Employment, NCAA, FAAN, NAMA and airport security agencies,” he said through the statement.
