The National Union of Electricity Employees, NUEE, has suspended its strike.

The workers embarked on the strike on Wednesday to protest the refusal of government to attend to their demands.

Recall that the electricity workers had given the government a 21-day ultimatum to implement their demands.

They warned that at the expiration of the ultimatum, they would down tools if the government refused to be bothered.

However, the strike was suspended following the dialogue between the union and the federal government which eventually held.

According to the General Secretary of NUEE, Joe Ajaero, in a statement, the dialogue which was held Wednesday night till early Thursday morning yielded fruit.

All the concerns of the union, he said, had been addressed.

His words: “Following the agreement reached between NUEE and representatives of Government this morning, on all the issues in contention, the Union wishes to suspend the industrial action it embarked upon to press home these demands.

“Consequently, members are urged to return to their duty posts while we monitor the implementation of these agreements. We would not hesitate to resume action if the agreements are not implemented.”
