Despite the ruling of the Industrial Court against the NLC’s proposed strike, the union has expressed an unwavering trust in the judiciary system.
The Nigeria Labour Congress has restated its confidence in the country’s judiciary, saying it remains unshakeable after its ruling on the Labour union’s planned strike action.Recall that the NLC and the Trade Union Congress had asked the National Industrial Court of Nigeria , Abuja, to set aside its interim order that stopped the two workers’ bodies from embarking on their planned industrial action against the recent removal of fuel subsidy by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu .
“We at the Nigeria Labour Congress want to state unambiguously that our faith in the judiciary remains unshakeable. “In doing so, we are guided by the well-known credo that the only alternative to a credible judiciary are mob culture or tyranny which we are better off without. The Organised Labour had alerted their members for a nationwide strike slated for June 7 but later suspended in protest against the over 200 per cent increase in the pump price of petrol across the country following the removal of petrol subsidy.
