- Accuses IBEDC of failing to review staff salary since 2013.
The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has asked the Management of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) to renegotiate the salary and wages of its workers. In a statement signed by Secretary-General Joe Ajaero, the Union noted that since the start of its operations, IBEDC has failed to review the salaries of the staff despite the rising cost of living.
”The Union having painstakingly reviewed the cost of living index, devaluation of the currency, and inflationary rate that is prevalent in the country currently, with a corresponding increase in revenue, and the fact that since the company started operations that the last eight years, there has not been any negotiated salary increase for the workforce, have considered it expedient to request for an upward salary review”, the statement read.
”the Union hereby requests Management to set up necessary machinery to negotiate with the Union to fashion out a new salary structure for staff of the company in order to boost their productivity and fall in tune with the current economic realities”, the statement continued.
There has been no response from IBEDC on the statement.
