Air Peace, United Nigeria Airlines and Enugu Air suspended or rescheduled flights as the disruption spread, while the three carriers were estimated to have lost more than N1 billion following the cancellation of over 80 flights. Osifo said the unions embarked on the strike after negotiations over the issues failed, accusing some airlines of preventing their employees from joining trade unions. He said TUC had fully endorsed the strike and would continue to support the aviation unions until the underlying disputes were resolved. The TUC president warned against securing a temporary suspension of the strike without resolving the issues that triggered it. “If you try to placate the issues without resolving them, and we call off the strike today, tomorrow there will be another strike again.
