Trade Unionism And Social Media Utilization: A Study Of Nulge, Kogi State Chapter
Abstract
Over the years, the activities of the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees - NULGE, as a trade union representing the local government employees seem not to have impact, in terms of meeting their needs like those of ASUU and Nigerian Medical Association. They hardly embark on industrial actions such as strike and protest for wage increments, unlike their counterparts. And even when they threaten to embark on industrial action the government seems not to take their agitation seriously as those of other unions. This study therefore aims to investigate the challenges militating against NULGE's 'fight' for the welfare of its members. The study also examined the role of social media in promoting the realization of trade union's objectives, with particular reference to NULGE, Kogi State chapter. To achieve the objective of the study, survey method of research is adopted. This is to enable the researcher generate relevant information/data, through questionnaire and interview from members of the union which constitutes the study population. The study will adopt Chi-squre as its tool of analysis. And simple percentage will also be used to describe findings from the field.
