Aviation workers under the umbrella of the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) has suspended its plans to embark on strike from today (Wednesday).

Ocheme Oba, General Secretary, NUATE, confirmed the development in a statement issued in Lagos.

Beesreign Media had reported that NUATE in a circular issued on August 15, said aviation security workers would embark on an indefinite nationwide strike over poor wages.

The circular revealed that the workers are usually paid a paltry N30,000 monthly, noting that the wage was insufficient, thereby bringing untold hardship on the workers.

NUATE disclosed that the union called off the strike after the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) intervened in the matter, and requested to be given a week to deliberate on the workers’ demands.

The NCAA also promised to organize a meeting between the union, private security firms and the airlines.
