The organised labour has vowed to cripple the activities of banks who sacked their workers if they fail to recall them on or before the 21 days ultimatum issued them by the labour body.
The labour unions are in support of a recent threat by the federal government through the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, to withdraw their licences that breached its directive to halt further retrenchment.
At a joint briefing in Geneva, Switzerland, at the ongoing 105th International Labour Conference, ILC, leaders of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, maintained that they would picket banks that indulge in further mass sack of their employees.
They said that the federal government was right to have threatened erring banks with withdrawal of their licenses if they refused to halt the gale of mass retrenchment of workers.
Both labour unions argued that just like the banks disobeyed the laws of the country and retrenched workers, “we will picket them to show them that they do not have monopoly of law of disobedience.”
