protest hits EEDC owerri office

Scores of workers of Enugu
Electricity Distribution Company, EEDC,
yesterday, picketed some of the offices of
EEDC in Owerri, Imo State, over what they
described as "anti Labour policies."
Some of the EEDC offices that were shut down
include that of Royce Road, New Owerri, Orlu
and Mbaise.
Augustine Mbakwe, who led the group, listed
as one of their grievances, "de-unionization of
workers in EEDC."
According to Mbakwe, EEDC management in
the state has made the condition of work too
harsh and unbearable for them.
He said: "We are out here today to protest the
refusal of EEDC to install metres for Nigerians,
arbitrary and crazy billing, indiscriminate sack
of workers, intimidation and harassment of
workers with security agents.
