[JUST IN] N/Assembly Workers To Embark On Strike Monday

The National Assembly Service Commission (NASC) and the National Assembly chapters of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) Thursday resolved to down tools on Monday.

This was part of the resolution reached at the joint emergency congress of the NASC and the NASS.

A communique jointly signed by the chairman of NASS, Sunday Sabiyi and the vice chairman of NASC, M. A. Liman, said this was in protest of the alleged breach of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed with management on the full implementation of the new National Minimum Wage Act 2019 and the Revised Conditions of Service.

The workers said the management should pay them, with immediate effect, eight months outstanding balance of minimum wage; 2021 rent subsidy, 15 months arrears of CONPECULIAR Allowance and six months arrears of hazard allowance.

“In addition to the MOU, the congress also demands implementation of 50% balance of CONLESS, immediate release of the year 2022 training template for staff, evidence of provision of gratuity for retiring staff,” the communique read in part.
