Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria on Tuesday, ended the industrial action against Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited over the sacking of 34 members of the union without due process.
The union had described the sack as witch-hunting and willful intimidation
It said rather than implementing the conditions of service as agreed with them in 2021, the BASL management had resorted to the sacking of its members, including the union’s executives.
However, in a statement on Wednesday, Frances Akinjole, deputy general secretary of the union, said the union had ended the strike following the intervention of concerned ministries, and agencies at a meeting in Lagos.
