The Senior Staff Association of Statutory Corporations and Government-Owned Companies (SSASCGOC) has cautioned the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) against actions that could trigger a labour dispute at the Industrial Training Fund (ITF). He said that while AUPCTRE represents junior staff at Grade Level 06 and below, SSASCGOC represents senior staff in statutory corporations and government-owned companies. “It is a trite principle that SSASCGOC’s operations are legally based on its registration as an Association under the Trade Union Act of Nigeria. “We expect a labour centre like NLC, and its affiliates, to be better educated on this legal position. We demand that the Nigerian Labour Congress should operate within the ambit of the Nigerian Constitution and not be stampeded by any of its affiliates to cause disharmony between the two Labour centres (NLC AND TUC).”
