A nation wide strike will begin on Tuesday November 14, 2023, the Organised labour comprising of the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress have declared.
It has also declared an immediate and total strike in Imo State from midnight today to protest last Wednesday’s attack, brutalisation and battering of the NLC President, Joe AJaero, and other labour leaders, besides other matters.
The leadership of the two unions reached the resolution after an extraordinary National Executive Council meeting on Tuesday in Abuja.
The aim of the meeting was to review the modalities of the planned strike following the brutalisation of the National President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, review of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Federal Government and the organised labour on October 2, 2023, following the removal of the subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit which the labour unions said have caused “untold hardship” to Nigerians.
