ALL OVER THE CIVILIZED WORLD UNION MEMBERSHIP IS A VOLUNTARY ACTIVITY. YOU MAY WORK IN AN INDUSTRY AND CHOOSE TO NOT BE A MEMBER OF A UNION. IN MY OVER 15 YEARS WORKING IN OVER 4 COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD I HAVE NEVER JOINED A UNION OR BEING FORCED TO JOIN ONE EXCEPT IN NIGERIA. IT IS ONLY IN NIGERIA WHERE EVERYBODY IN A INDUSTRY IS FORCED TO JOIN ONE. TAKE THE ACADEMIC SECTOR IN NIGERIA FOR EXAMPLE, I KNOW OF MANY UNIVERSITY LECTURERS THAT DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS CRAZY AND COUNTER PRODUCTIVE INDEFINITE STRIKE. THESE MEN AND WOMEN BREATHE, SLEEP AND DRINK JUST TO PASS KNOWLEDGE TO THEIR STUDENTS. THE THOUGHT OF NOT HAVING ACADEMIC CONTACT WITH THEIR STUDENTS FOR ONE WEEK TALK-LESS OF SIX MONTHS KILLS THEM. THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS TYRANNICAL MILITANT UNION. BUT THEY CANT. THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT JOIN LIKE SHEEP. BECAUSE IF THEY DONT THEY MIGHT AS WELL KISS BYE BYE TO AN ACADEMIC CAREER IN NIGERIA. THIS IS BECAUSE IF YOU ARE NOT A UNIONIZED ACADEMIC YOU WILL BE WITCH HAUNTED AND BULLIED AND OSTRACIZED BY ASUU. YOU WILL NEVER GET PROMOTION. THIS GOES CONTRARY TO THE UNITED NATIONS FREEDOM TO JOIN OR NOT JOIN A UNION PRINCIPLE AS WELL AS THE FREEDOM TO CROSS OR NOT CROSS THE PICKED LINE PRINCIPLE. A UNION IS FREE TO WITHDRAW IT SERVICES, THAT IS FINE HOWEVER IT IS NOT FREE TO COERCE OTHERS EMPLOYEES WHO ARE NOT THEIR MEMBERS TO WITHDRAW SERVICES. IT IS ALSO NOT FREE TO SHUT THE WORKPLACE DOWN AND PREVENT OTHER EMPLOYEES WHO ARE NOT THEIR MEMBERS FROM EXERCISING THEIR RIGHTS TO WORK. NIGERIA IS OVERDUE A LABOUR AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS REFORM. WE NEED IT NOW. IT IS TIME FOR OUR VERY WELL PAID LAWMAKERS AND LEGISLATORS TO GET OFF THEIR BACK SIDES AND PRODUCE A WORLD CLASS INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS ACT WITHIN 90 DAYS!!!!!! ENOUGH OF ABUSE OF THE NATION NIGER BY THESE MILITANT TRADE UNIONS!!!
