There seems to be no let off between the management of Ecobank
Transnational Plc and some of its disengaged staff as the battle shifts to the
National Industrial Court on November 20th 2013.
According to a press release sent to CKN Nigeria by the
aggrieved staff of the Bank,this has become the last resort since the Bank has
turned a deaf ear to all their demands which includes payment of their disengagement
allowances and other benefits.
The former staff ,mostly from the defunct Oceanic Bank Plc said
they have been shortchanged by the new management team of the Bank.
All efforts to make the management team of the Bank to see
reasons with them has fell on deaf ears ,hence the resort to the court.
The ex members of staff will be storming the court at 31 Lugard
Avenue ,Ikoyi in their thousands for the court proceedings.
Ecobank Plc has in recent been in the news for the bad reasons.
Earlier in the year , most staff of the Bank accused the
management of slavery as they were denied of their weekends like staff of other
Banks.
The Bank is also under investigation for the manipulation of its
annual reports by the Banking regulatory authorities in Nigeria, a situation
that led to the resignation of its Chairman recently

When you buy over a company, you have also bought over the assets and liability. This is a contributory staff savings deducted from the former staff salaries, it is their rights that is being denied. It must be paid back !
ReplyDeleteIf dis case is won will dey pay interest on d amount been owed becos our loans wic we wia unable to pay off at d point of exit is still accumulating interest.
ReplyDeleteEcobank should tell us the reason why they paid some members of staff their SSITF upon exit and left some unpaid? SSITF was a savings contribution deducted from our basic salary on a monthly basis that upon exit same will be given to us. Also where is the Money Amcon paid on the account? Like a colleague said it is our right so Eco kindly pay us. U can't buy all assets and neglect d liabilty- it is not trite.
ReplyDeleteThe era of corporate recklessness and impunity should be brought to an end. I hope the industrial court will dispense justice in this case. I know Ecobank is afraid to pay the huge sums bcos all the staff of d erstwhile Oceanic bank will be involved, but as said, it is their money, not an ex gratia payment. Equity demands that they are refunded their hard earned savings!
ReplyDeleteThis impunity will be addressed by the industrial court. It is a clear case; the truimph of truth over capitalist suppression is imminent.
ReplyDeleteGod should see all thru in this case. Am in 100% support all I've read on dis issue.
ReplyDeleteEco should pay all they are owing their staff.
we will surely come out victorious, cos its our hard earned money and sweat.God will see us thru.
ReplyDeleteBut I think taking the case to high court will be more better and faster than the industrial court. This might take longer time and d bank might even ignore it.
ReplyDeleteecobank pay us o, its our right. we'll come out victorious in Jesus Name
