Obi seeks FG’s intervention, as NLC mobilises for full-blown strike.
The Nigeria Labour Congress NLC, on Monday, began mobilisation of all its affiliate members ahead of a full-blown nationwide workers’ strike, as Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, urged the federal government to urgently resolve the ongoing disagreement between the Dangote Group and the workers in the oil and gas industry to avert a strike.
The NLC, in a letter issued on Monday to all affiliate members, said, “This serves as a formal and urgent request in response to the protracted and deliberate anti-worker crusade being waged by the Dangote Group against the Nigerian working class.”
In the letter signed by Joe Ajaero, the NLC President, the Union noted that the ongoing battle with PENGASSAN, NUPENG and the Dangote group is “merely a symptom of a deeper sickness; a capitalist pathology of union-busting, worker enslavement, and gross impunity that defines the Group’s industrial relations strategy.”
According to the NLC, ” Dangote Group has operated for too long as a state within a state, flouting Section 40 of our Constitution, violating ILO Conventions 87 and 98, and treating our national labour laws with contempt.
” Their facilities are not workplaces but plantations of exploitation, where the dignity of the worker is systematically crushed to maximise profit for the few.
The Union said the time for pleading and endless, fruitless dialogue is over.
The Union, while stating that it is time for decisive, collective action, called for ” total mobilisation of all Unions and workers, adding that ” All aforementioned affiliate unions are hereby placed on IMMEDIATE AND FULL ALERT”
“You are requested to commence, with immediate effect, preparation for a vigorous and comprehensive unionisation of all workers within every Dangote Group facility falling under your jurisdiction. This is a strategic priority.
