The Nigeria Union of Railwaymen (NUR) is a trade union representing workers in the rail industry in Nigeria.
The union was founded in 1978, when the Government of Nigeria merged five unions:[1]
- Association of Locomotive Drivers, Firemen, Yard Staff and Allied Workers' Union
- National Union of Railway Workers of Nigeria
- Nigerian Railway Permanent Way Workers' Union
- Railway and Ports Transport and Clerical Staff Union of Nigeria
- Railway Technical Staff Association of Nigeria
The union was a founding affiliate of the Nigeria Labour Congress, and by 1988, it had 20,634 members.[2] In 2016, the union left the NLC to become a founding constituent of the United Labour Congress (ULC). However, in 2020, the whole ULC rejoined the NLC.[3][4]
