Members of the Nigerian Labor Congress NLC are divided in the proposed
strike they plan to embark on tomorrow May 18th if the Federal
government does not revert to the old pump price of petrol and suspend
the deregulation of the oil sector. Electricity Workers Union, NUPENG,
PENGASSAN and other allies have said they will not be participating if
the strike eventually holds.
The Executive Secretary of the Electricity Workers
Union, Joe Ajaero, who spoke with newsmen after a meeting with the
Federal government delegation in Abuja yesterday, disassociated the
electricity workers from the proposed strike action.
Members of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers,
NUPENG, and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of
Nigeria, PENGASSAN, have also said they will not be participating in the
strike.
