Abstract:
In Nigeria, labour disputes have increased in frequency, and trade unionism is routinely misused. Low productivity as a result of such union abuses and disputes undermines the economy's demand and supply chains. Because the rules of the nation are consistently broken, unions strike as a last resort rather than negotiate, which frequently disturbs industrial peace and academic activities in Nigerian universities. However, this study investigate role of trade union in manpower development - a study of Nigerian Labour Union (NLC). The Nigeria Labour Congress NLC provided a total of 75 survey respondents, who were selected using simple random and purposeful sampling approaches. Documentary evaluations, questionnaires, and interviews were used to gather data. The quantitative analysis of the data was supported by the qualitative analysis, which was based on tables, charts, and percentages. Since workers claim that their issues persist in the workplaces even if NLC is present, the study's findings demonstrate that NLC has not fulfilled its responsibility to the extent that reasonable and prompt compensation are paid, and that manpower development and their rights are safeguarded. According to the study, if employees' difficulties could be resolved, a satisfied work environment would result, which would strengthen working and employment connections. Therefore, NLC's poor performance causes employee unhappiness, which in turn causes a high absenteeism rate and employee turnover. According to the study, in addition to workers ensuring the election and appointment of committed leaders to their union who can stand firm when defending the interests of their members to their employers, regulatory framework of employment and labor relations acts should be revised by the government. Employee satisfaction and improved work performance will follow from this.
