Mainstreet Bank sacks 800 workers

THE management of Mainstreet Bank Plc, formerly Afribank Plc, Friday,
sacked no fewer than 800 workers despite the Federal Government’s
directive to the management of the bank and organised labour to maintain
status quo pending resolution of labour issues between the management
and labour.

Meanwhile, organised labour, yesterday, asked the management of the
bank to immediately reverse the termination or labour and its allies
would shut down its operations nationwide, describing the management’s
action as illegal and unprocedural.

It was  gathered that the management just locked the
affected workers out of the bank’s network, denied them access to their
offices and asked them to wait for their termination letters through
their email boxes.
