The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Wednesday shut down a Chinese company, Shaanxi Construction Engineering Group Corporation, over what it described as dehumanising condition of workers in the company. The union arrived at the company located at the new headquarters of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Lugbe, Abuja as early as 7:30am. There was initial resistance as the gate of the company was locked against the protesting union and its picketing team but was later opened by the management.
NewsThe Nigeria Labour Congress on Wednesday shut down a Chinese company, Shaanxi Construction Engineering Group Corporation, over what it described as dehumanising condition of workers in the company.
The management of the construction company did not speak on the protest or respond to the allegations raised by labour. He said the Chinese company engaged the workers on an ad hoc basis with no conditions of service attached or any welfare or medical services in place. The NLC scribe said while the picketing action would continue, the leadership of labour hoped to engage the management of the company in a discussion.
