The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has frowned at the non-inclusion of organised labour in the committee set up by the Federal Government for the review and implementation of the Steve Oronsaye report.
The TUC President, Comrade Festus Osifo made known the position of the union while briefing journalists after the National Executive Council (NEC) of the labour movement, threatening that labour will not allow government “to cut its hair in its absence”.
“We hereby call on government to inculcate members of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria into the committee that is currently reviewing or implementing the Orosaye’s report, because you cannot shave our hairs when we are not there. We will not accept any fallout that is going to impact on our members when they conclude without us. So we demand that we must be there to look at what the committee is doing and also make our recommendations and make our voices heard”, Osifo said.
