It urged workers across the state to remain calm pending the outcome of the state reconcillation committee set up by the ministry of esterblishment as well as the final resolution from the national headquaters of NLC.
It would be recalled that some factional members from the council addressed journalists on Tuesday where they announced the removal of the state chairman of the council on ground that he was disengaged by KEDECO.
