Court Restrains Union From Picketing FIRS Offices

The FIRS took that decision for reasons outlined in an official announcement circulated to all staff which reads as follows:

“In line with Gazette No. 6 Vol 65 dated 8th February 1978 and National Industrial Court judgement dated 27th June 1995, it is noted that the operations of Nigeria Civil Service Union FIRS Unit as it is constituted today in FIRS is considered illegal as there are no longer any junior staff cadre employees in the service.

“There is accordingly no legal or another basis whatsoever for the continued existence of a junior staff cadre union in FIRS as the cadre of staff it is deemed to cover do not exist within the organisation.“A letter from the Federal Ministry of Labour to the Head of Service of the Federation dated 19th February 2015 confirmed the above position in categorical terms,” the board had said in a statement that was issued last week.

The statement further clarified that “the right of workers to decide which union to belong is not absolute but must be exercised within the limits of Trade Unions Act CAP T14 LFN 2004. This position was confirmed in the Judgment of the National Industrial Court – NCSU vs ASCSN 1NLLR Part 3, 427.“In the light of all the above, The FIRS Board at its Meeting No.

“The management also assured staff that it is unreservedly willing to work and cooperate with the only legitimate representatives of staff, that is to say, the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria. Accordingly, staff were called upon to redouble their efforts in executing the FIRS mandate of assessing, collecting and accounting for tax revenue for all levels of government as contained in the FIRS Establishment Act .
