Radio, Television, Theatre and Arts Workers Union of Nigeria (RATTAWU) have planned to also shut down activities during the proposed nationwide industrial action starting from October 3, 2023.
This was contained in a notice of indefinite nationwide strike from RATTAWU signed by its General Secretary, Comrade A. Akpausoh.
The union said the decision was a follow-up to the just concluded meeting of the National Executive Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, which was held on Tuesday 26 September 2023.
The meeting had resolved that all affiliates of the congresses should embark on a nationwide indefinite strike action which should be total, with effect from Tuesday, October 3, 2023.
“In other words, there shall be no operations in our sectors throughout the action.
“Consequently, all our state councils and chapters across the nation are hereby directed to mobilize our members for effective implementation of the strike action.
“Also, all Vice Presidents in their various zones are being requested to monitor full compliance with the directive.
“Remember, ‘He who accepts evil without protesting against it is cooperating with it’,” the Union said.
