Organised Labour To NASS: We’re Fighting For Living Wage, Not Starvation Wages by Islie(op): 8:40am On Jun 03, 2024

The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero; has said that the union is fighting for a living wage for the Nigerian workers and not starvation wage.

Ajaero disclosed this at a meeting with the leadership of the National Assembly, SGF, Ministers and NLC leadership in Abuja.

The meeting was initiated by the national Assembly to avert the planed nationwide strike that will commence tomorrow.

Recall that Labour had on Friday declared an indefinite nationwide strike from Monday, June 3rd over the failure of the federal government to conclude negotiations on a new national minimum wage and reverse the hike in the electricity tariff.

To avert the strike, NASS called for a meeting to reach a definite conclusion with Labour leaders.

During the discussion, Ajaero noted that what they are fighting for is living wages for workers and not a starvation wage.

He noted that the workers in question are brothers and sisters of the lawmakers and the ministers, stressing that they need to work for Nigerians.

On his part, the TUC counterpart, Festus Osifo who noted that the current situation in the country was difficult for Nigerians especially in the last one year, said that it has also resulted in the difficulty in negotiating a new minimum wage for workers.

You are not being realistic with your N474k demand. If Labour union table N100k, FG would negotiate to what they, state and Private sectors can pay

Having meeting with the head of national assembly was a big waste of time.

Why do these political office holders think that they must continue to earmark comfortable outrageous financial packages to themselves while workers are left to survive in penury even when it is acknowledged by all that the country is dead broke.

450k or nothing...
Total shutdown on all government activities.

A senator earning 50m+ allowances does not cause inflation, but an average Nigerian worker earning 470k which is 106 times below what a senator earns per month is what will cause inflation.

Shut down the effing country.

It is not that asking over NGN 400,000 as the ideal wage that can sustain a family at this very harsh economic conditions is too much.

Where I have issues with NLC and TUC is actually enforcement!!!

These guys are practically toothless in enforcing minimum wage..

What have they been doing for State Governors that are unable to pay NGN 30,000..or let me say have not been paying the NGN30,000 huh

What have they done to force private sectors to even pay NGN 30,000 minimum wage huh

That is the question...so, how can anyone say these toothless bulldogs can enforce anything they agree with the FGN huh

How

So, it's not enough to ask heaven and earth..how are they going to ensure every sector that employes Labour in this country comply huh

That's the question

Where will the federal criminals bring such amount of money you are requesting to pay you salaries? Maybe you want them to borrow from Nigel to you pay such amount

They can even pay ₦1m monthly.

Stop giving politicians thieving strength.

They are refusing so that the elephant share coming to them remains untouched and here you are on Nairaland defending blindly just because you claim to be a party supporter of which you are unknown to them.
