In the event that we are not the cause, why should we be in a bad way. We are no longer going to acknowledge such a circumstance where specialists are in a bad way. Specialists are not being paid, their pay rates are being lessened and not just that, they are being sacked.

In this way, if the administration and bosses are discussing subsidence, the Nigerian specialists are as of now discouraged. "The best way to escape retreat is for us to enhance the lowest pay permitted by law for laborers. Laborers compensations are spent in Nigeria. They don't take their compensations to Dubai, Europe or America to spend. They utilize their compensations to purchase products that are created at home. It is just when merchandise are sold that the plants can keep on producing. In this way, it is critical that for recuperation, we should enhance specialists' wages with the goal that we can enhance successful interest for our products to be purchased and the plant can remain alive." 2000 laborers conserved: In his valedictory discourse, Isok regretted that the division had been a standout amongst the most hit by the monetary retreat, saying more than 2000 union individuals had lost their business to the subsidence.

In the most recent four months, the union has lost 2000 of its individuals to excess. The late consumption in enrollment is phenomenal in the historical backdrop of our extraordinary union. It is disheartening that the battling soul of the union has been debilitated by the manages of the economy lately. As managers are bearing this brunt, so likewise are the representatives.
