He urged the leadership of the union at all levels to be on guard to protect the income and livelihood of workers at these trying times.
He said, “We wish to state that any move to deduct the salaries of Nigerian workers anywhere is illegal. “Salaries are core elements of employment contracts and most of the times products of collective bargaining processes.
