In the interest of thoroughness, I’m including a post here about the ITWF writing to Branson about Nigeria Airways.

The International Transport Workers Federation (ITWF) has written President Olu-segun Obasanjo and Chair-man of Virgin Atlantic Airways, Sir Richard Branson over the plight of workers and pensioners of the liquidated national carrier, Nigeria Airways Limited (NAL).

The ITWF seems to be talking about problems with Nigeria Airways and writing to Branson because the new Virgin Nigeria consists of old NAL assets. I’m not entirely sure this even affects Branson at all unless the concerns raised continue under the new Virgin Nigeria management. Given Branson’s long-time commitment to treating employees well, it may be a really good thing for former NAL employees (and in very sharp contrast to their former conditions) if they now benefit from such core Virgin values.
