New minimum wage: Workers set to join NLC proposed strike
Workers in Osun State have announced plans to join the proposed nationwide strike by the Nigeria Labour Congress .Adekomi said he had received the directive on the proposed strike by the national headquarters of the congress and that the directive would be followed to the letter, NAN reports.
The NLC General Secretary, Mr Emmanuel Ugboaja, had in a circular, directed the state councils of the congress to mobilise members for the strike in case the negotiations between government and the union slated for Tuesday, breaks down. Adekomi, however, said it was unfortunate that labour had to resort to strike before workers’ demand for welfare would be looked into.“The language employers of labour understand is agitation, which is quite unfortunate.“It is the unthinkable language that they do understand,” he said.
Adekomi, however, expressed the hope that the issue of consequential adjustment on the minimum wage implementation would be resolved between now and Tuesday. “It is not about the issue of strike. It is about getting our demands. Nobody is interested in strike but what we are saying is give us what is due to us’’.
