Sir,

LETTER OF INTIMATION AND CALL FOR ACTION

We give to the almighty God who has sustained and brought us to the last quarter of the year through his supreme power.

We also appreciate you for your untireless efforts in keeping our state peaceful.

The management of Abia state college of education (Technical), Arochukwu, has shortlisted a hand full of names of staff members of our union, for termination of their appointement without first and foremost:

1. Liquidating 25 months arrears of salaries owed to them and
2. Paying them off.

Resulting from the information above, and most importantly, the fact that our grievances are yet to be given attention, we appeal as follows:

1. That you advice the management to withdraw drom downsizing exercise and follow due process.
2. Pay all the outstanding salaries of 25 months to the staff members of the college.
3. Be also informed, sir, that we will be embarking on peaceful protest within the bounds of Arochukwu community on monday 11, 2019, possibly at umuahia if the need arises and the status quo persist.

SIGN:

Comrade Obasi N. C. (Branch Secretary)
Comrade Nwosu D. O. (Branch Chairman)
