NURTW Affirms Control Of Memebers
The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has affirmed its total control of all transport workers, including drivers that operate transport business in Nigerian, and in Rivers State in particular.
This came at the hills of agitation by other transport groups, especially the cooperative transporters, that NURTW is forcing its members to join their union, and had been forcing them to buy various stickers and pay other dues.
Speaking to The Tide on the matter, the secretary of NURTW, Rivers State Council, Comrade Chuks Boms, said that the law establishing NURTW as the only trade union of all workers in the transport sector did not make provision for any other group outside the NURTW.
He said that every other association trying to organise any union of workers in the transport sector will meet with disappointment because they do not have the backing of the law.
According to Mr. Boms, “Every workers in the transport business is automatically a member of NURTW, and we will not allow any other unrecognised body to take away our members from us.”
The Secretary posited that several litigations had been taken against them, but that none of them had survived, because there is an existing law backing the NURTW.
He therefore called on all those doing transport business in Rivers State to allow their workers to partake in the programmes of NURTW, adding that the union is not interested in witch-hunting any body or group.
