Hoodlums have attacked some members of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC enforcing the ongoing indefinite strike in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
Newsmen reports that the NLC and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, shut down the country’s economy on Monday over the federal government’s inability to accept its proposed N494,000 Minimum Wage.
While enforcing the strike in Jos, touts at a private transport company reportedly attacked some NLC members, landing them in the hospital.
Addressing newsmen, the Vice Chairman of NLC in Plateau, Sunday Ayodele, explained that “Immediately the touts at the park saw the NLC taskforce arriving at the gate, the thugs started hauling stones at them, thinking we were members of the NURTW.
