Some workers of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria on Monday staged a peaceful protest at the Abuja office, against an alleged non-payment of their severance benefits.
The Zonal Organising Secretary of the National Union of Electricity Employees, Mr. Temple Iworiwa, said, while addressing newsmen, that the union was not against the privatisation of the company.
He explained that the protest was due to the Federal Government’s position to go ahead with the official handing over of the company to the investors without resolving all the labour-related matters.
He said some of the agreements reached between the union and the Hassan Sunmonu-led negotiating team in July 2012 were not observed.
