Fakiyesi said this in a social media discussion in OAU WIKILEAKS monitored by Tell Times correspondent, I actually do not see their (NLC) protest producing any positive fruit. Why? Because of the years, the Labour leaders have presented themselves as a toothless bull dog that can only bark hard but can't bite. Fakiyesi also aver that before an industrial action begins, a 7day ultimatum ought to have been given to the federal government which is in contrast to the 3 days the union bodies give.
