New Minimum Wage: Falana Reveals Why It’s Illegal For Governors To Determine Amo by Softworkconcept: 6:15am On Nov 04, 2018 |
Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has stated that it will be illegal for states to determine what they can pay as minimum wage. According to him, the minimum wage was deliberately placed in the exclusive legislative list, to ensure uniformity in application. Falana stated this at a tweet conference/roundtable to mark the International Day to end Impunity for Crimes against Journalists (IDEI) 2018. “I have heard arguments that every state should be allowed to determine what they can pay. But all the governors earn the same salary apart from allowances and security vote. “All legislators earn the same no matter where they come from. Every Senator earns about N15million per month. So on the ground of equality, that argument cannot be sustained. “Secondly, labour and industrial matters are in the exclusive legislative list, deliberately so. Otherwise, you’ll have starvation wages and state government that will not pay salaries at all,” he said. Falana also stated that it was only when it involved addressing the terrible living conditions of the poor, that the government talks about inflation. “You must also understand that this is a class matter. The members of the ruling class, regardless of political parties, are one and the same when it comes to addressing the problems of the poor. “So the legislators who earn N15million believe that if you increase minimum wage from N18,000 to N30,000, there will be inflation. So, the government can pay if it wants to pay,” Falana said. https://softworkconcept..com/2018/11/new-minimum-wage-falana-reveals-why-its.html 21 Likes 4 Shares

The wickedness in this clime is unbelievable. People collecting 15million a month while human being like them are collecting 18k a month and both go to the same market. And to think this is not even from having their own business where they have made profit and can pay themselves such money, it is our common patrimony that they allocate to themselves such outrageous salaries while leaving the masses impoverished.

what i don't get is that these guys are our representatives right? Senate and House? If they represent us, are we not the ones to tell them how much to earn at the end of the day, enforcing it with our votes? Unless of course, our votes don't count. 6 Likes |
