TRADE UNIONS AND WORKSHOP MENTALITY 2

 I wish to start by saying that anything touched by politicians get destroyed, the TU Movement not being an exception. At the time Comr Adams Oshiomole committed suicide, the TUs were captured by the political elites. In 2009 ASUU signed an agreement with FGN touching on lecturers welfare and the funding of the Universities, and till today that  agreement has not bee fully implemented. This none implementation of this agreement led to a strike action that lasted about eight months, only for the strike to be called off under the guise of an MOU. However, what happen was "Strike Fatigue" that is why there have been some small strikes and numerous ultimatums to resume the strike again. Another TU whose strikes have affected Nigerians negatively is the National Association of Resident Doctors. Nowadays, they only call on the government to settle the leadership of the Union. How is it done? They give the  employer the instrument that is known to the Law force the employer to d...

TRADE UNIONS AND WORKSHOP MENTALITY 1

 Trade Unions are meant to protect the interests of her members but with the economic meltdown, they have taken upon themselves the role of workshop managers. You may not know why it is called workshop, funny as it may sound, but it so called because those work there eat out of there. Until Comrade Adams Oshiomole committed class suicide to become the governor of Edo State, the NLC was the only organised opposition to the PDP government of Gen. Matthew Okikiola Arẹmu Olusegun Obasanjo, after that, the organised labour movement was captioned. What do you hear from TUs today is one ultimatum or the other to go on strike if one bogus demand or the other is not met. Here, I need some education as to the section of our Trade Dispute Act is ultimatum? All ultimatums are a way of telling the employer, especially in the public sector to call us for settlement. It goes without saying that everybody have a price and empty fingers are not sweet in the mouth. The Disputes settlement procedure ...

REJECTED RESIGNATION AND WRONGFUL TERMINATION

 You will allow me ask some simple questions which I know you have no answers. Firstly, I would like to know companies in Nigeria that force people to apply for employment with them? Secondly, I would also like to know who if anyone has been forced to apply for employment in any company? I have tried to scan through my over fifteen appointment letters and could not find anywhere provision was made for Resignation, rather Termination. My next question, where did Resignation of appointment come from? The next corollary question is why would any employer reject Resignation and any employer come up with the term Wrong Termination? Finally, Could an employee reject Termination or on the other hand could the employer reject Resignation? For the purpose of discussion, should the employer term his Termination as WRONGFUL, where would he work and who will pay him? Should the employer reject the employee's Resignation, how does the employer make the employer to report for duty? As I said fro...

ORGANISATION SUCCESS: LEADERSHIP DETERMINED 3

 In concluding this Content, I wish to1 share my personal experiences in both the public quoted and the private limited companies.. Amongst the public quoted companies, I worked in four.  The 1977 Indigenization Decree made Nigerians who were hardly prepared to takeover leadership assumed leadership, results of which are apparent for all to see. They ran all the companies aground. The only ones still alive are the ones, the former foreign owners got involved in management. The remaining ones, are either dead or on life support. The four companies in the public sector I worked, two are dead, one on life support and the fourth is still alive no thanks to the foreign owners. Another common experience is that three CEOs sold the CEO's residence's to themselves. Finally, two things that led to their terrible performance are Greed and Nepotism. On the other hand, the private limited companies, the leaders are qualified by blood relationship. In one particular company I worked, your ...
