Unions accuse Air Peace of blocking unionisationThe labour groups accused some domestic airlines of preventing their workers from freely joining trade unions despite repeated efforts by aviation unions to secure workers’ rights to unionise.
According to the unions, workers should be allowed to choose and belong to unions without fear of reprisals.
The aviation unions claimed that airlines had collected the charge but failed to remit the funds meant to support the operations of aviation agencies.
They said they had subsequently exercised restraint by giving the affected airlines additional time to address their concerns.
Labour demands freedom to unioniseThe aviation unions demanded that affected airlines issue clear directives to their employees affirming their freedom to join trade unions of their choice.
