Labour Unions in Taraba Join National Strikes.

 TUC chairman Taraba State Chapter Comrd Abasu blames the federal government for its failure to meet Workers' demands.

Chairman Of Trade Union Congress TUC Taraba State Chapter  Prince Abasu Sule has blamed the federal government for failing to meet Workers' demands.

The Chairman stated this in an interview with our reporter in Jalingo while commenting on Organized labour preparedness in Taraba State to embark on industrial action at midnight today.

Abasu said the federal government has not been open to facing the demands of labour in the area of a new National minimum wage for workers for the organised labour resorting to strike action.

Sule remarked that the current situation in the country speaks volumes that ordinarily the Federal  Government should have worked out means of meeting the Worker's demands in the interest of industrial harmony.

According to him, the organised labour leaders in Taraba State will hold a meeting this evening to know the levels of mobilisation of its members for participation in the Industrial action.

The Unionist decision arrived at by the National leadership of organised labour to urge members across the country to embark on industrial action was the best since the federal government was not ready to meet Worker's demands.

He lamented that at the moment, workers' salaries can not buy foodstuffs that will feed their family's lack of other life needs.
