I completely agree with you Feyi, unions are important and provide an outlet grievances and fighting for better working conditions. More importantly is the regulation of said unions otherwise they would be pointless and this is where more attention needs to be placed. In the situations spoken about in the various cities some employees are not even allowed the unions as in the Lagos’s case subject if that is not allowed what can the workers do? They need the job for survival and its a battle between need to afford basic needs and enduring a hostile work environment with unfair conditions. unions need to be mandated especially in the blue collar world and informal sectors where contracts often do not exist to protect employees.
