NLC is asking for 200k and got 35k. I thought that the government would be considerate and make it 100k.

Those who receive minimum wage are supposed to live a decent lifestyle with it. Nobody can survive on a 35k salary with the economic condition we find ourselves in today.

Well....with the momentum the strike notice has generated, it would have had devastating effects on our fragile economy if allowed to go on..

I must commend the NLC and TUC leadership for this struggle...it wouldn't have been easy...

They technically forced the FGN hand....the President announced NGN 25,000 support to wages of low cadre FGN workers....NLC and TUC were able to force the hands of FGN to raise this to NGN 35,000 and also included everyone under FGN payroll...this is huge achievement in my own opinion. We can argue the amount is still small considering the social economic realities of Nigeria today...but it is something achieved by these pressure groups.

They also achieved Tax waivers on Diesel..that's also huge.

For me..it's a win-win situation for FGN and Labour unions.

My headache now is the fate of State Government workers and many of us working at private establishment...this struggle, as usual doesn't cover us..

State workers will have to start their own fight with their state governor.

No one will fight for private organisation workers. Our hope lies only on positive results of economic policies...FGN need to sit-up..we need to start seeing his positive results

Some states are still struggling to pay the old minium wage. There is something we ain't getting right

Leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, will by 3 pm today hold a joint briefing to declare a nationwide indefinite strike.

Vanguard gathered that the leaders of the two labour centres have resolved their differences that made only NLC embark on a two-day warning strike with the participation of TUC.

Recall that between Tuesday, September 5 and Wednesday 6, 2023, NLC embarked on a two-day warning strike to force the government to address the mass excruciating suffering of Nigerians, especially workers.

According to sources, the two centres after their separate organs’ meetings, will jointly hold a press briefing at 3 p.m. to announce an indefinite nationwide strike following the Federal Government’s failure to address the suffering and other socioeconomic hardships occasioned by the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor, PMS, commonly known as petrol.

I suspect a sinister motive to facilitate political anarchy under the guise of protests against hardships. What do you guys think?

Mods, Mynd44, Lalasticlala, front page discussion, pls

Chelsea not so impressive so far in this game, playing against a second class team like Luton. No finesse, no master touches to showcase them as a first class team. Only Sterling running and down like a fowl on heat.

Hope their gameplaying actually improve as the season progress.
