Workers in the country has been directed to get ready for an indefinite industrial action expected to begin October 16.

The directive is from the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), the umbrella body of the work force.

The federal government and the organised labour failed to reach an agreement over relativity and consequential adjustments for the implementation of the new N30,000 minimum wage more than six months after it was signed into law.

The workforce body is demanding a 29 per cent salary increase for officers on salary level 07 to 14 and 24 per cent adjustment for officers on salary grade level 15 to 17.

The government on its part, proposed an 11 per cent salary increase for officers on grade level 07 to14 and 6.5 per cent adjustment for workers of grade level 15 to 17.

But in a secular dispatched to its state councils and signed by the General Secretary of the NLC, Emmanuel Ugboaja, the body said the preparation to down tools was incase the proposed negotiations between it and the government slated for October 15 yields no fruit.

“You will recall that a joint Communiqué was issued by the NLC, Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Committee (JNPSNC) stating that two weeks from the date of the said communiqué, industrial harmony could not be guaranteed in the country should an agreement not be reached with the Federal Government on the Consequential Adjustment of Salaries as a result of the New National Minimum Wage of N30,000,” the circular said.

“You are hereby directed to coordinate preparations with TUC and JNPSNC in your States for necessary industrial action should the time expire without an agreement as contained in the circular,” it added.

Try it and see what govt will do to you.

Opposition paid agent

Sakamanje.... The NLC leaders are all corrupt thus they can't do jack. If they try to call on strike, efcc is there to open their book.

That's why they keep procrastinating the strike all these days.

I wish labour can just have some balls to carry out the threats. This govt is really taking Nigerian workers as fools.
