The
Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, says loading of
products, including aviation fuel, would stop from today as affiliates of
United Labour Congress of Nigeria, ULC, begin an indefinite strike.
Also,
electricity workers, on the platform of National Union of Electricity
Employees, NUEE, National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers, NAAPE,
and National Union of Railway Workers, have also asked members to down tools
and join the strike.
However,
leaders of the National Union of Banks, Insurance and Financial Employees,
NUBIFIE, said members may not effectively join the strike today because the
union just concluded its delegates conference weekend, warning, however, that
members would fully join should the strike persist.
But
the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, and Trade Union Congress, TUC, have insisted
that the ULC was fake, since it was not recognized by government, and urged
Nigerians to ignore the group.
Similarly,
the Federal Ministry of Labour also held on to its earlier position that the
ULC was not recognized by the Federal Government.
