United Labour Congress (2016)
The United Labour Congress (ULC) was a national trade union federation bringing together unions in Nigeria. The federation was founded on 18 December 2016, by about 25 unions which had formerly been affiliated to the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). They argued that the leaders of the NLC had become detached from the concerns of their members and, in some cases, were using anti-democratic measures to remain in position. The NLC adopted a conciliatory approach, stating that it would still offer protection to the unions which had formed the ULC. In July 2020, the ULC rejoined the NLC. ULC president Joe Ajaero became vice-president of the NLC. Affiliates The federation's affiliates included: {, class="wikitable sortable" ! Union !!

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 approxi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Trade Unions In Nigeria
Trade involves the transfer of goods and services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. An early form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services, i.e. trading things without the use of money. Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money. As a result, buying can be separated from selling, or earning. The invention of money (and letter of credit, paper money, and non-physical money) greatly simplified and promoted trade. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade involving more than two traders is called multilateral trade. In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division of labour, a predominant form of economic activity in which individuals and groups concentrate on a small aspect of production, but use their output in trades for other products and ...
