Labour Set To Picket FIRS Offices Nationwide

*Begins Mobilisation Of Members

Labour, under the Nigeria Civil Service Union (NCSU), is set to
commence the picketing of the offices of the Federal Inland Revenue
Service (FIRS), nationwide, beginning from Monday 26, July
2021.

In a notice sent to its branches and units to urgently start
mobilisation of its members across the country, the union said it
would continue the picketing action until all its demands were
met.

Signed by the NCSU Deputy General Secretary, Comrade Ibzimakor
Nnubia, the notice said the FIRS had pitched itself against the
union by clamping down on the union and sealing its units
secretariats, while also stopping the check-off dues
unilaterally.

Comrade Nnubia said: “Be informed that the Federal Inland
Revenue Services has pitched itself against the Nigeria Civil
Service Union over the union demand that issues impeding
productivity and efficient service delivery be addressed, by
clamping down on the Union, sealing the Union’s Unit Secretariat
and unilaterally stopping check-off dues accruable to the Union
from our members.

“Flowing from these unwholesome tactics, the Nigeria Civil
Service Union has resolved to picket the Federal Inland Revenue
Services offices nationwide from 26 July 2021 until the Union’s
unit secretariat is unsealed; check-off dues deductions accruable
to the Union are fully restored and the contentious issues between
the management and the Union are resolved.”

The Union urged its members nationwide to commence mobilization
for the action.
