The ongoing saga between the Nigerian government and labour unions continues over minimum wage negotiations. Find out the latest updates here!
The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) have been in a deadlock with the government over the issue of a new minimum wage. Despite agreements and negotiations, the nationwide strike initiated by the NLC on June 3 persists, disrupting government and commercial activities. The Information Minister has called for a halt to the strike, emphasizing the tripartite committee's commitment to establishing a realistic minimum wage.
Amidst the strike, the NLC raised concerns over the deployment of soldiers to institutions, further intensifying tensions between the parties. The NLC accuses the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) of spreading falsehoods against peaceful protesters, adding to the already heated situation.
As the strike continues pending a review meeting, 32 labour unions have joined the indefinite industrial action in solidarity with the NLC and TUC. The organized labour remains resolute in their demand for a higher minimum wage, emphasizing the importance of fair compensation for workers.
In a surprising turn of events, despite an agreement with the Federal Government, the NLC states that the strike will continue until further decisions are made by its organs. The conflict over minimum wage negotiations highlights the ongoing power struggle between the government and labour unions, with no immediate resolution in sight.
