Fresh tension in Kaduna as el-Rufai, NLC trade words

Despite the intervention of the Federal Government through the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, in the industrial dispute between Kaduna State Government and Organised Labour over mass sack of workers, fresh industrial tension appears to be brewing in the state as the government and Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, trade words.

Recall that Organised Labour led by NLC, had between last week Monday and Wednesday crippled all socio-economic activities in Kaduna State over mass sack of workers during the five-day warning strike that was apprehended Thursday by the Federal Government through the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige.

At a conciliatory meeting between Labour and Kaduna State Government on Thursday, May 20, presided over by Senator Ngige, the meeting resolved to constitute a 10-man Bi-partite Committee to engage further with the objective of reverting with a work plan on how to resolve the impasse between the State Government and the NLC.
