A group of trade unions defending the rights of workers from Cameroon Airlines company, CAMAIR-Co, have written to the General Manager of the company, Louis Georges Njifendi Kouotou, asking for salaries of workers to be paid as soon as possible.
The workers claim they have not been paid for the months of July, August and September and condemn irregularities in payment.
The team of trade unions, also advised the general manager to pay all owed to workers so as to avoid any incidents of insecurity since one isn't sure of what can come from a dissatisfied worker especially in the field of aviation.
This is not the first time this year that workers have decried unpaid salaries or threatened to strike if their working conditions are not ameliorated.
Staff delegates last April 8, sent a letter to the then General Manager, Ernest Dikoum, demanding the payment of 2 months of salary arrears. The workers threatened to go on an eight-day strike if their concerns were not met.
The Cameroon Airlines and Flight Engineers Union of Cameroon (SPINAC), Syndicat National des Travaileurs de l’Aviation au sol (SYNTAS), National Syndicate of Air Transport Workers (STTA) and the Syndicat Des Personnels du Transport Aerien et Activites (SNPTA) have been defending the interest of workers on several occasions.
Salaries for the months of February, March and April were yet to be paid, and they also asked for the rehabilitation of the company’s fleet (B 767, B737, MA60). However, few days after, the syndicates called off the strike order.
This constant cry for unpaid salaries is said to affect the mood, psychology, safety and performance of employees who lack concentration and are no longer enthusiastic to go to work.
CAMAIR-Co has been going through difficult times for several months until new appointments were done by the President in August, placing the current minister of transport, Ernest Ngalle Bibehe as the board president. However the problem with unpaid salaries persists.
