The differences between the unions made only NLC embark on a two-day warning strike a few weeks ago without the participation of TUC.

NLC on the 5th of September had embarked on a two-day warning strike to force the government to address the mass excruciating suffering of Nigerians, especially workers.

According to sources who spoke with the platform, NLC and TUC after their separate organs’ meetings, will jointly hold a press briefing at 3 p.m. to announce an indefinite nationwide strike.
