The Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN) has accused the ground handling company, Skyway Aviation Handling Company of Nigeria, Ltd. (SAHCOL) of committing “wilful infractions” against the union.
Some members of the union have also accused the company of failing to pay workers their five years' severance packages, an arrangement that was agreed to before the company was handed over to Sifax Group in 2009.
SAHCOL was a department in the defunct national airline, Nigeria Airways, before the airline was liquidated in 2004, but SAHCOL continued to operate as a separate entity until it was privatized to Sifax Group in 2009 by the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE).
