In the letter, wabba threatened to implore labour actions against The management of Firstbank Of Nigeria Plc , over impending plan to lay off its workers
In a letter adressed to the management of Firstbank of Nigeria plc which was signed by NLC President Ayuba Wabba and made available to newsmen, the bank is asked to immediately suspend all plans to lay off workers
NLC argues that it is unjust and against the Nigerian labour laws for First Bank of Nigeria to sack workers between the ages of 35 and 55 years old, who have put in minimum of 5 years.
The NLC said the issues were brought before the labour centre by its affiliate; the National Union of Banks, insurance and financial institutions, NUBIFI
The NLC therefore asked the Firstbank Management to re-enact engagements with the Union to resolve pending issues instead of boosting the unemployment market with sack of workers
Labour is also calling on the federal government to intervene to avert looming crisis in the Banking sector.
