1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Casualization goes beyond Nigeria
and beyond telecommunication companies. Around the world in nearly every
economic sector, good jobs are falling prey to corporate cost-cutting
moves at the expense of working families. Too many jobs are being
outsourced, contracted out, or reclassified under a barrage of legal
definitions designed to keep pay down, benefits low, and unions out.
Casualization of employment is growing at an alarming rate. More and
more workers in permanent employment are losing their jobs and are being
re-employed as or replaced by casual or contract workers. This state of
affairs is viewed as employers’ strategies to cut cost; maximize profit
and subject the employees under economic captivity. Casual work which
is supposed to be a form of temporary employment has acquired the status
of permanent employment in many organizations in Nigeria without the
statutory benefits associated with permanent employment status. Casual
workers are subject to lower pay, barred from their right to join a
union, and denied medical and other benefits. Companies have devised
antics by often hiring several part-time workers instead of one or two
full-time workers to avoid their obligation to provide benefits, to
divide the workforce, and to dissuade unionizing efforts. However, this
research is out to find out the effect of this unfair casualization of
staffs by some management of companies on the employee commitment.
