Kano DisCo Issues 14-Day Strike Notice Over Pension Deduction

Kano DisCo Issues 14-Day Strike Notice Over Pension Deductio

On Monday, the National Union of Electricity Employees, Kano Electricity Distribution Company chapter issued a 14-day strike notice to the management of KEDCO over an un-remitted pension deduction to Pension Fund Administrators.

The workers also warned that the operations of the distribution company will be disabled if the management fails to do the needful.

In a petition to the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, which copied the Director-General, Joe Ajaero, Directorate of State Service, and General Secretary of NUEE, the union decried management’s disregard for the agreement reached and also its persistent refusal to remit the third party deductions.

The notice partly reads, “At a meeting held on March 30, 2022, between the Union and KEDCO management over delay in implementing the report of the committee highlighted above alongside promotion related- issues; the management promised to commence payment without delay.

“Again, KEDCO management failed to live up to its agreement to commence payment of third party deduction and effect payment of new salaries to promoted staff without delay.

"The union expressed its disappointment via memo NUEE/ZOS/KD/2022/170 dated April 15, 2022.

“You will also recall that an emergency meeting, which coincided with the visit of the national officers of the union, was held on April 21, 2022, during which you promised to pay, yet to no avail.

“Still in the spirit of having industrial harmony and understanding, officials of the union led by the Vice-President (North/West) reached out to the CCSO on June 1, 2022, to address these issues.

"Management promised to ensure payment as soon as the CFO returns from an official trip to Abuja.

“Unfortunately, it appears that the CFO has refused to return from Abuja, as about 12 months’ union dues, 12 months’ staff cooperative, 56 months’ contributory pension arrears, just to mention a few, have not been remitted, and other labour issues unaddressed till date.”
