Chiluba went on to win the chairmanship of the [[Zambia Congress of Trade Unions]] (ZCTU). He and several leaders in ZCTU were detained in 1981 by President Kenneth Kaunda for calling a wildcat strike that paralyzed most of the Zambian economy. The union leaders were released after a judge ruled their detention as unconstitutional. In 1987, he successfully withstood challenge to his chairmanship of NUBEGW that would have put his ZCTU position in jeopardy. | Chiluba went on to win the chairmanship of the [[Zambia Congress of Trade Unions]] (ZCTU).
