IN 2016 JOB NO.1 for the NUPW is maintaining jobs.
The National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) president Akanni McDowall acknowledged that though layoffs were probable due to the expected mergers of a number of statutory corporations in the new year, the main concern was maintaining employment levels.
McDowall told the SUNDAY SUN yesterday that any good trade unionist would never be in favour of layoffs.
“Be that as it may, we have our job cut out for us and we will try to ensure that as many maintain their jobs as possible,” McDowall said during a telephone interview.
“It is unfortunate that there will be discussion of layoffs in this economic climate,” he said. (MR)
