Union workers get much higer benefits.
The National Union of Textile Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria said it had lost 30 members who died waiting for their entitlements.
The statement, signed by Malam Ali Baba, the union's organising secretary in Kano,
said the workers were frustrated.
According to the statement, 680 workers who worked for between five and 25 years were still waiting for their benefits, adding that efforts to settle the matter with the company's management had failed.
The statement said the company owed the workers about N400 million and urged the state government to intervene in the matter.

Gaskiya Textile was so reluctant to pay out benefits to its workers that they managed to stall long enough until some of them have died. These workers were part of a union, and were probably paid higher than average benefits, but it is unacceptable for a company to deny its workers their benefits for so long that they are kiked out of their houses or die because of a preventable disease and lack of access to a doctor.
