NLC will commence a nationwide indefinite strike on Monday, June 3rd over a new minimum wage request.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Organised Labour may begin a nationwide strike from Monday, June 3, over a new minimum wage.

According to the sources, organised labour is already mobilizing for a strike from Monday, June 3.

 

“The outcome of tomorrow’s (today) will determine our next line of action. If the meeting comes out fruitful, better for everyone.

 

“But should government’s team continue with its carefree attitude and disdain for workers’ welfare, nothing will stop us from going on strike from Monday. We are already mobilizing for the strike.

 

“Everyone knows that the one-month ultimatum we gave to the government to conclude negotiations on the new national minimum wage ends tomorrow (today). We have been patient amid the hardship and mass suffering inflicted on us by the government’s anti-poor policies.

 

“Besides that, the issue of the minimum wage is statutory. The old Minimum Wage Act ceased to exist since April 18. We had more than six months, at least, to work on a new minimum wage.

 

“But the government has not been serious with issues affecting workers. Well, Nigerians can bear us witness that we have been patient with this government. If the government knows what is good for it, let its negotiators come up with something reasonable to meet workers’ expectations, otherwise, strike will be inevitable from Monday.”
