Tuesday marked the end of the strike by the Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria against Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited over the unjust dismissal of 34 union members.
This was stated in a statement given by Mr. Frances Akinjole, the union's deputy general secretary, on Wednesday in Lagos.
According to The News Agency of Nigeria, when ATSSSAN shut down MMA2 terminal at the early hours of Tuesday, November 1, there was heavy traffic on the connection road leading to the international terminal.
A number of passengers were forced to miss their flights as a result of the union's actions, which had an impact on the face-off.
At a meeting in Lagos, the Ministry of Labor & Employment, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, the Federal Airport Authority, the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, and other airport security authorities intervened, according to Akinjole, and the union called off the strike.
"The strike against Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited that began on November 1 has been called off as a result of the corporation agreeing to return the union members who were laid off and a promise to pay their salary.
According to the statement, "the agreement was achieved during a meeting invited by the Ministry of Labor & Employment, NCAA, FAAN, NAMA, and airport security agencies."
