Abstract
This article examines the right to strike in Nigeria, Ghana,
Tanzania and Uganda on a comparative basis reflecting on the
legislation and jurisprudence of these countries. The article relied
on the standards set up by the International Labour Organisation
(ILO) as the chief regulator and repertory of International Labour
Standards and best practices in labour matters. The article
contends that although the various jurisdictions examined have
made efforts to comply with ILO minimum threshold as far as the
right to strike is concerned; they need to do more to ensure
substantial or full compliance with the ILO standards.
Consequently, several recommendations have been put forward
concerning the right to strike in Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania and
Uganda which if implemented will bring these countries into full
compliance with ILO prescriptions concerning the right to strike.
