Labour Unions Prepare For Action As Government’s Grace Period Ends Tomorrow
Chris Onyeka, Assistant General Secretary of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), emphasized this stance on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief show on Monday. Onyeka reminded the public that the one-week grace period granted to the Federal Government on Tuesday, June 4, 2024, will end at midnight on Tuesday, June 11, 2024.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
“If the Federal Government and National Assembly do not meet our demands by tomorrow, the NLC and TUC organs will convene to decide on resuming the nationwide industrial action suspended last week,” Onyeka warned.
“We have never considered accepting ₦62,000 or any wage below what is necessary for Nigerian workers. We will not negotiate a starvation wage. Our demand remains at ₦250,000, which we believe is a fair concession considering the current market realities,” Onyeka stated, citing the cost of essential goods like rice, yam, and garri.
He urged the Federal Government and National Assembly to address their demands promptly, proposing that the government send an Executive Bill to the National Assembly to establish a National Minimum Wage Act that aligns with their demand.
“If we do not receive a tangible response from the government by the end of the grace period tomorrow, the organs of Organized Labour will meet to determine our next steps,” Onyeka clarified.
When asked about the Labour’s response if the government insists on a ₦62,000 wage, Onyeka asserted, “Our stance is clear. We have paused the nationwide indefinite strike, but if our demands are not met, we will resume the strike action as previously planned.”
Labour’s unwavering position highlights the growing tension as the grace period deadline approaches, leaving the ball in the government’s court to prevent further industrial action.
