Industrial action by electricity workers under the auspices of National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has thrown Edo, Delta, Ondo and Ekiti states into total darkness.
The workers yesterday shut down facilities of the Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) Plc over emoluments and welfare packages, just as they blocked members of staff the company from entering the premises as they shut down vital operational facilities.
The action as thrown the franchise states into darkness since early Monday morning. Many of the workers had to close early from their offices while management was said to be meeting with the leadership of NUEE as at the time of filing this report
But a senior staff member said: “We are surprised at their action, some of them even harassed our staff. The management recently reviewed their emoluments, I am surprised that they shut down facilities of the company.”
Several calls to the Edo State Chairman of NUEE, Williams Uwumarogie were not picked.
But the Acting State Chairman of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) Bernard Egwakide said the Union had earlier intervened in the labour dispute.
