Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, on Friday said the union does not enjoy embarking on industrial actions despite issuing ultimatums.<\/p>\n

The NLC Head of International Relations, Uchenna Ekwe, said the union only wants the right thing to be done and not embark on persistent industrial action.<\/p>\n

Recall that both NLC and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, had issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to fulfil the 16-point agreement with the workers since October last year.<\/p>\n

The ultimatum had elicited negative reactions from some Nigerians who faulted the NLC for opting for strike amid the economic hardship.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Ekwe said they only issue an ultimatum when the government fails to meet up with the union\u2019s reminders.<\/p>\n

Featuring on Channels Television\u2019s The Morning Brief, Ekwe said: \u201cUsually people see when NLC starts putting warning and if you notice the comments, people will say we don\u2019t want a strike, it will disrupt.<\/p>\n

\u201cBalancing all these, Let me make this clear, the NLC is actually never interested in a strike, we don\u2019t want a strike; we want the right things to be done.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore you see us issue a public ultimatum, there must have been many communications that are not meant public to the government system calling their attention to probably an agreement like in this case.\u201d<\/p>\n
