According to a CitiNews report, the court surcharged UTAG for wasting their time.

This comes after UTAG's inability to complete its process before the hearing on Monday, August 16, 2021.

The case has however been adjourned to Wednesday, August 19, 2021.

The National Labour Commission (NLC) on Friday, August 6 secured an interlocutory injunction to compel UTAG to call off its industrial strike action.
