The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), on Wednesday, picketed the Air Peace offices at the domestic terminal of the Lagos Airport, grounding operations over the airline’s continued defiance of the embargo on Imo Airport.
The two labour groups staged what they claim to be an escalating operation against the Imo State Government over the alleged disruption of the May Day celebrations in Owerri, Imo State, on Monday.
The two labour unions had accused the Governor Hope Uzodimma administration of collaborating to forge a factionalisation of the labour movement in the state.
The NLC and the TUC during the May Day celebrations vowed to bring pressure on the Imo State government to reverse its actions.
The first target of their action is to cut off the State from air travels.
The Labour activists entered the Lagos airport on Wednesday and disrupted the activities of the Air Peace counters at the airport.
They have also pledged to deny the airline supply of aviation fuel in the escalating face off.
It was gathered that the NLC and the TUC have also carried out their threat to petition International Labour Organisation against the Imo State government besides grounding Air Peace operations in Lagos.
