TUC among it’s demands is asking for a reversal of pump price and a tax break for some workers.
The Federal Government assures that it is also actively engaging with the umbrella union body, the NLC, which had recently announced a nationwide strike starting from Wednesday this week.
The NLC insists that the government must revert to the previous petrol pump price.
