The organized labor which comprises Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) and the State Joint Public Service Negotiating Council (JNC) said its members from Tuesday, October 12, 2021 should sit at home until further notice..

Addressing journalists in Calabar, the State Chairman of NLC, Comrade Ben Ukpepi said they have exhausted all possible options and the Government is not responding.

Expressing disappointment they said, “to be honest with you, there was a time we gathered here and decided to call back the award given to the Governor because he has completely disappointed us,” adding that, “we thought he was a friend and we gave him that award in order to encourage him to love civil servants, we didn’t know he was going to be completely elusive on civil servants. In fact, he has disappointed 99.9 percent of civil servants in Cross River State.”

In a circular to members, the organized labor said, “whereas the enlarged congress of organized labor met on Wednesday, 6 of October, 2021 at Nigeria Civil Service Union (NCSU) secretariat to deliberate on the many issues troubling the workers of Cross River State; whereas the congress, after extensive deliberation, resolved that all workers in the State and Local Government should down tools to press home our grievances.
