Nigeria Labour Congress
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is an umbrella organization for trade unions in Nigeria. History The Nigerian Labour Congress was founded in December 1978, as a merger of four different organisations: the Nigeria Trade Union Congress (NTUC), Labour Unity Front (LUF), United Labour Congress (ULC) and Nigeria Workers' Council (NWC). However, the recently-established Federal Military Government, led by Murtala Mohammed, refused to recognise the new organisation, and instead set up the Adebiyi Tribunal to investigate the activities of trade unions and their leaders. The Tribunal reported in 1976 and claimed that all the existing trade union centres propagated Cold War ideologies, depended on funding from international union federations, and mismanaged funds. This was used as a justification to ban all four centres, with M. O. Abiodun appointed as the administrator of trade unions. He accepted the establishment of a new Nigeria Labour Congress, on the condition that the ap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

United Labour Congress Of Nigeria
The United Labour Congress (ULC) was a national trade union federation in Nigeria. History The federation was established in 1962, when the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria merged with the Nigeria Trade Union Congress (NTUC).
