The Nigerian Union of Railway Workers (NUR) yesterday said it has concluded plans to embark on a warning strike.
According to the union, the three-day national warning strike is to press home its demands for improved welfare and standard conditions for its members.
According to the body, the workers will embark on industrial action from November 18 to November 20, 2021.
The union made this disclosure to the workers in a letter dated November 12, 2021, signed by the NUR President General, Innocent Ajiji, and other executive officers.
The letter titled,
Notice and Directive to embark on 3-day warning strike nationwide’ sent to the Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, Fidet Okhiria, and the Minister of Transport, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, the labour unions said their “agitation for enhanced salary cannot be overemphasized as it is an open secret that the salary regime of the Nigerian Railway workers is the worst and most incomprehensible of all salary structures available to the parastatals under the supervision of the federal ministry of transport.”
The president who lamented the ridiculous description made about the railway workers by the minister stressed that the workers are tired of being identified with poverty.
