NLC, TUC say strike must hold tomorrow despite court order

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and the Trade Union Congress, TUC have resolved to proceed mobilize workers to begin indefinite strike, tomorrow over fuel hike.

The workers' action is to take effect from 12 midnight today. This was the resolution of the union at its National Executive Council,NEC meeting, held today, at the NLC headquarters in Abuja.

The unions took the decision to mobilize workers on strike, after exhaustive deliberations on last week’s fuel hike by the federal government and the attendant consequences on the Nigerian workers and the general public.

Their decision not to suspend the strike was further fueled by today's injunction by the Industrial Court,restraining them from proceeding on the strike expected to begin tomorrow.
