FUEL SCARCITY: Don’t Force Us To Go On Strike, TUC Warns
The Trade Union Congress said it was monitoring and engaging with stakeholders over the prolonged fuel scarcity in many parts of the country.
The situation, apart from resulting in high transport fares in many states also caused untold hardship to many Nigerians.
But addressing journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, the National President, Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, Quadri Olaleye, vowed that the union might be forced to take an “emergency decision” if the situation persists after the union’s consultation.
According to him, the union might proceed on industrial action or lead a protest over the matter.
He said, “At the moment, we are watching, we are monitoring and doing some engagements for us to be able to make emergency decisions. When labour takes an emergency decision, you know what it means? It is either strike or protest.
“You can see that even what they are using to investigate the man-made problem is part of the funds made for the Nigerian workers. So we are monitoring and when it is time to take a decision we would. ”
