TUC Pickets Abuja Continental Hotel Over Labor Rights Dispute

The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, on Monday, August 24, 2026, staged a picket at the Abuja Continental Hotel, accusing the management of violating workers' fundamental rights and denying them the opportunity to unionize and engage in collective bargaining. The protest, which began in the early morning, disrupted operations at the hotel as union members blocked the entrance and attempted to lock the gate, leading to a standoff with security personnel and some hotel officials. The action was led by the TUC and its affiliates, including the Hotels and Personal Services Senior Staff Association, HAPSSAN, and the National Union of Professional and Allied Staff of Nigeria, NUPSI.
