The Edo State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, has condemned the sack of the staff of Daar Communications Plc working at its broadcast station in Benin.
The news had broken yesterday about the sack of the staffers of Benin station of African Independent Television, AIT, and Raypower FM owned by Daar Communications Plc.
The decision was conveyed in a letter dated June 2, 2016, signed by the Senior Manager in charge of Human Resources, Victor Okasoga, who advised the sacked staff to surrender all company properties in their possession, warning that “Failure to surrender company properties in your possession may delay the processing of your entitlements”.
But a statement issued by the NUJ chairman in the state, Rowland Osakwe faulted DAAR Communications management for sacking its workers without fulfilling necessary financial obligations.
Osakwe said, “It is not a good thing that you enslave labour, and at month end, you don’t give them their stipend. Then, you are sacking them and not giving them their cheques.
“The act is condemnable. It does not even happen in the animal kingdom these days. We are not going to relent. We will write them a letter and ask the management to pay them their money or we will take a legal step.”
