尼日利亚工会在阿布贾围堵一家中国建筑企业：称两名工人死亡与医疗保障缺失有关
阿布贾—尼日利亚劳工大会（NLC）与全国土木工程建筑家具木工工人工会（NUCECFWW）10月21日在首都阿布贾围堵了中国建筑企业 Wizchino Engineering（WE）尼日利亚有限公司，指责该公司存在反劳工做法：不许工人加入工会、没有明确的工资结构、也没有可用的医疗设施。
据尼日利亚通讯社报道，带队抗议的 NUCECFWW 全国主席 Stephen Okoro 说，近来该公司两处不同地点的工地各有一名工人死亡，工会认为这与公司没有注册诊所、工人在紧急情况下无处就医有关。他说，公司至今没有一家登记在册的诊所可供工人在急诊时使用。抗议者举着标语牌，要求体面工资、组建工会的权利，并结束他们所称的随意雇佣与解雇。
尼日利亚劳工大会代理总书记 Benson Upah 在现场警告说，如果该公司不遵守尼日利亚劳工法律，劳工大会将毫不犹豫地采取进一步行动，包括让其停工。据当地媒体报道，截至抗议当天，Wizchino 公司管理层尚未对工会的指控作出回应。上述死亡与用工指控均为工会一方的说法。

Nigerian Unions Picket a Chinese Construction Firm in Abuja, Citing Two Worker Deaths and a Lack of Medical Care
ABUJA — The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the National Union of Civil Engineering Construction Furniture and Wood Workers (NUCECFWW) picketed Wizchino Engineering (WE) Nigeria Limited, a Chinese construction firm, in the capital Abuja on October 21, accusing its management of anti-labour practices: preventing workers from unionising, failing to provide clear pay structures and maintaining no usable medical facilities.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, NUCECFWW national president Stephen Okoro, who led the protest at the company's Jabi site, said two workers had recently died at two different company locations, which the union linked to the absence of a registered clinic where workers could seek emergency care. Protesters carried placards demanding decent wages, the right to unionise and an end to what they described as hire-and-fire employment without clear conditions of service.
Benson Upah, the NLC's acting general secretary, warned at the scene that the congress would not hesitate to take further action, including shutting the company down, if it failed to comply with Nigerian labour laws. Local media reported that Wizchino's management had not responded to the unions' allegations as of the day of the protest. The deaths and employment allegations are the unions' account.
