Despite the warning by the National Industrial Court to the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, the Trade Union Congress, TUC, and its Affiliate Unions not to embark on any nationwide strike, they insist on the strike action.

Both the NLC and TUC are defiant and have resolved to  begin the planned nationwide strike from midnight today.

The strike is to protest the battering of the NLC President, Joe Ajaero and others in Owerri, Imo State on November 1, as well of the pending labour issues in Imo State and the Federal Government.

They had, on November 7, resolved to declare a Nationwide strike by Tuesday, November 14, if their demands are not met.

It would be recalled that  Ajaero was battered and brutalized by alleged Policemen and thugs in Owerri where they went to organise a strike action against the Government.

According to the NLC President and his TUC counterpart, they were at the NLC state Secretariat in Owerri to protest among other grievances a backlog of unpaid salaries and allowances, Pensions, gratuities and non-compliance with National Minimum Wage Act. The State Governor denies the allegations, especially, non payment of salaries.
