A strategy meeting of the Central Working Committee, CWC, of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, presided over by Congress President, Comrade Joe Ajaero was held on Tuesday evening in Owerri with all the affiliate unions in attendance.
The CWC resolved that Owerri airport will remain open till noon on Wednesday before it is shut down; while unions should embark on heightened mobilisation. The union leaders also took a swipe at the government for owing workers and pensioners over 42 months arrears; declaring thousands of workers/pensioners as ghost workers/pensioners as well as not properly implementing the national minimum wage.
