Nigeria’s largest
airline, Arik Air is in the eyes of the
storm over unpaid salaries and wages to its Staff running into hundreds.
According to a
protest mail received from the aggrieved workers, the management of the airline
is now in the habit of delaying workers salaries for no unjustifiable reasons.
According them,
sometime in the year, Arik owned its staff about three months salaries even
when its making millions of Naira from its daily operations.
This is the unedited
message being circulated by aggrieved Arik Air Staff, all attempt by CKN Nigeria
to get the response of the management of the airline was unsuccessful:
“OCCUPY ARIK.. “Today is
1st of December; let's see how long it will take Sir Arumemi Johnson Ikhide -
chairman of Arik Air Limited to pay his local staff. One wonders the rationale
behind the whole concept of not paying your staff nothing earlier than the 15th
of the next month. Amazingly, the local staff have accepted this trend as a norm- this injustice has been so established that its
"unnatural" for an Arik "local" staff to get his salary
alert even today 1st of another month. Meanwhile, it is totally unacceptable
for the "expatriates" to be owed a single day after the month's pay
day. It's painful that the government and other relevant agencies will allow
this injustice to be the lot of its people. Arik Air is in business daily and
the profits are rolling in of course with the sweats of its staff, but the
management of Arik will take delight in not paying then their due. No medicals
at all in a company as big as this,no benefits, and the most shocking of all is
no remittance of staff pension whatsoever but the monthly deduction is
constant. Ask any Arik staff about Tax clearance- he/ she has got nothing bus
the deductions are also constant. If Arik Air will not give its staff all the
benefits they deserve and if they won't increase their salary' at least pay
them their salary on time- its supposed to be 28th of every month. Could the
Government and relevant agencies please look into this matter immediately- what
is good for the goose is good for the gander too”

ReplyDeleteIts painful to work without payment ..but Why are U̶̲̥̅̊. Involving boko haram. ?
ReplyDeleteCan the so called leaders do anything? Can they succeed?
ReplyDeleteOf course not!
Why?
If they can not simply preside over their families successfully, how can they direct the multitude of people like this? For instance, power has not being regular since 1960, that is 53 years ago! If they have not succeeded for 50 years, forget it, they will never succeed! Never! Not in this life time!! So don't trust them. For 48 hours there's no power supply in Gbagada! In the city not village! Come on, they can't succeed but will go from bad to worse corruption-wise!!!
Now they are proposing to increase fixed charge from N750 to N1,500 for domestic use, i.e. Whether you consume power or not, you will pay N1,500! Monthly subscription for Access Bouquet on many cable TVs which will be for 24 hours service for a month!
Fixed charge for some industrial usage is N22,170 a month excluding VAT, whether you have power supply or not!
So Nigerians are now "the green field and ripe for harvest", while people in government are the reapers!
Educational sector? Health sector? State of the road networks? Rate of unemployment?
Yet someone is proposing 2017 to be the next year of presidential election. Someone bought 2 cars of N240m each, at least, so we heard! Some others are fighting with all they have that they want to "lead" people to enrich their pocket.
I can go on and on. In fact, Nigeria as a nation is like a Zoological Garden. Very interesting to visit like a tourist center.
It is no wonder then that the whites, including Chinese, Lebanese, Taiwan etc are very much interested to come and study our economic-behaviour, social-behaviour and intelligence like we do when we visit the Z**.
Our "leader" have captured us and they're getting a "FEE" from the Asians and the Western world to come and watch us! What a pity!!
Let the management be their brothers keeper
ReplyDeleteToday being 19th March, we are still waiting to be paid our salaries - ArikAir.
ReplyDeleteBut where do we go from here, there is no job out there but except through God's intervention.
Although this is not new to us and that is the reason why have been saving to get something started - and probably leave.
