What's the latest on the NLC strike in Nigeria? Find out the heated exchange between the government and labour unions!
In the midst of brewing tension, the Nigerian government and the National Assembly leadership hastily convened an emergency meeting to address the impending nationwide strike called by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) over the proposed minimum wage. The Federal Government issued a stern warning, branding the planned strike as premature and illegal, urging the labour unions to reconsider their stance. Despite the warning, support poured in from unexpected quarters as the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) threw its weight behind the NLC and TUC, urging the government to heed the demands of the labour force.
As the NLC and TUC gear up for the industrial action, the Nigerian government continues to caution against the strike, intensifying the standoff between the authorities and the labour bodies. In a surprising move, the National Assembly stepped in to halt the planned indefinite strike, acknowledging the concerns raised by the organised labour but advocating for dialogue and resolution instead.
As the nation braces for the impact of the looming strike, it is crucial to note that 10 unions have already declared their support for the NLC and TUC's planned nationwide action. Additionally, the Attorney General of the Federation highlighted the legal aspects, citing sections of the Trade Disputes Act 2004 to emphasize the illegality of the strike notice given by the unions, setting the stage for a legal battle amidst the growing tension.
The meeting is coming a day before the an indefinite strike called by the two Labour centres over the proposed minimum wage.
