NLC's Abdulwaheed Omar Sabotaging Settlement of Labour Strike in Enugu State


Folks, while Abdulwaheed Omar is resisting the suspension of the labour strike
in Enugu State, his counterpart at the state level Osmond Ugwu and his gang of
marauders are actually physically preventing workers from gaining entrance to
their offices and returning to work. You also need to know that while the strike
lasted, these Lawless labouristas hired thugs and invaded Parklane Hospital
terrorizing the staff and patients insisting that a labour strike was on and so
that the hospital should shut down. They also invaded several banks in Enugu
where they held both customers and bank workers hostage for hours, actually
shutting the banks down, insisting that the banks must shut down because of
their strike. Read the story below and consider how lawless these people have
become!

Enugu workers stopped from resuming work

There was a mild drama yesterday as the striking workers in Enugu State were
prevented from entering their offices,following the suspension of their
industrial action, by the Enugu Workers Forum.

Led by Osmund Ugwu, who insisted on the continuation of the strike, the group
went round offices chasing workers away and pasting notices that the strike
should continue.

The Organised Labour had, after a meeting last weekend with religious and
traditional leaders, accepted to return to work after one month.

Public schools resumed yesterday as teachers were seen in their various classes.
State Chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Comrade Chumaife Nze was away in
Abuja, following the suit filed against Labour by the state government.

Many workers had converged on Freedom Square in the secretariat waiting for the
arrival of national officers from Abuja to confirm the retur-to-work order.

"Once the national officers come and confirm to us that we can now go back to
work, Osmund Ugwu and his group cannot stop us. If they dare do that, it is then
that they will incur our wrath," said a unionist.
