The union said that if their demands are not met, an indefinite strike will commence from September 22.21-day ultimatum within which the government should come up with palliatives to cushion the effect of the fuel price hike or face a total and indefinite strike.
In a statement issued to mark an end to the two-day warning strike, NLC President, Joe Ajaero, had told workers, “In the event that the government fails to provide the appropriate responses to our demands, we encourage you to maintain your steadfast resolve. The same passion and determination that fuelled this warning strike will be crucial if we find ourselves compelled to embark on an indefinite nationwide strike.
“NEC in session of NLC resolved to embark on a total and indefinite shutdown of the nation within 14 working days or 21 days from today until steps are taken by the government to address the excruciating mass suffering and the impoverishment experienced around the country.”
