Indefinite Strike: Radio, Television, Others To Shut Down
Radio, television, theater, and arts professionals are planning to cease their activities as part of a nationwide industrial action scheduled to commence on October 3, 2023.
This information was communicated through an announcement of an indefinite nationwide strike issued by the Radio, Television, Theatre, and Arts Workers Union of Nigeria (RATTAWU). The notice was signed by the General Secretary of the union, Comrade A. Akpausoh.
The decision to take this action follows a recent meeting of the National Executive Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), held on September 26, 2023. During this meeting, it was resolved that all affiliates of these congresses should participate in a nationwide indefinite strike action, which will commence on Tuesday, October 3, 2023, and is expected to be comprehensive.
“In other words, there shall be no operations in our sectors throughout the period of 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 of the directive.
“Remember, ‘He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it,” the Union said.
