FCT Labor Unions Suspend Strike After Successful Negotiations

The labor unions in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have suspended their strike action after reaching a resolution with the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA). The strike, which began on January 19, was led by the Joint Union Action Committee (JUAC) due to various issues such as delayed payments, promotions, and pension contributions.

The negotiations involved key figures like Nyesom Wike, who assured mutual respect and sustained engagement between the unions and the government. The National Industrial Court issued an interim order restraining the unions from further strikes.

The unions agreed to suspend industrial action pending a court hearing. The unions also planned a protest on February 3.
