National Assembly Workers To Begin 4-Days Warning Strike On Monday
The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), National
Assembly chapter, has issued a four-day warning strike notice which will
commence on Monday, December 17.
According to the Chairman of the association, Bature Mohammed, in a
statement in Abuja on Saturday, the decision was reached in an emergency
congress held on December 14.
Though President Buhari is due to present the 2019 Appropriation bill
to the joint National Assembly on Wednesday, December 19, Mohammed said
that the warning strike which would run till December 20, was to press
home the demands of the association.
The chairman advised that all members of the association should stay
away from their duty posts during the period as members of PASAN had on
December 4 shut down operations at the National Assembly when they
prevented lawmakers from sitting.
The grievances of PASAN include a new condition of service for
members, promotion and payment of 28 per cent increment in salary
captured as contained in the 2018 budget
