Although he didn’t reveal the amount to be paid, the NLC President charged all affiliate unions to begin the implementation process immediately.
He said, “I am making a pronouncement that henceforth, we are going to introduce detention allowance and this will from the workers detained for the picketing done by the union yesterday.
“We urge all unions to start immediately because harassment and detention by security personnel is one of the hazards of the job; that we retain this solidarity. It doesn’t matter how much, when a worker is detained because of his or her conviction, there is a need to support the person.”All rights reserved.
