NATIONAL STRIKE: NLC, TUC Betray Nigeria Workers Again? by Bebigiby1(op):
The recent news about the outcome of the Tripartite Committee meeting over the minimum wage signaling an end to the strike is another glaring example that NLC has not learnt its lessons about this APC deceitful government…. How many times will they go on strike only to end it on flimsy grounds with nothing concrete achieved…. Looking at the resolutions reached you can clearly see that nothing of substance was achieved except the president’s commitment to a minimum wage above N60,000…. It will be another betrayal by NLC, TUC leaders if they call off the strike now…. The economic crisis caused by this incompetent government and the high cost of food and services afflicting Nigerian workers will not go away by wishful talks and watery resolutions…. The strike must continue to send a strong message to these callous leaders and ensure that genuine progress is made in alleviating the pain of Nigerian workers and all Nigerians. NLC should call off the strike only when the government commits to a specific new minimum wage amount…. Also part of NLC’s demand should be a drastic review and reduction of the huge allowances been paid to the legislooters and Tinubu’s executive team….. NLC should know that Nigerians are watching and any attempt to hoodwink and kill the national struggle for a fair minimum wage maybe the final nail that will forever dent the image of NLC, TUC and it’s affiliates….. destroying it’s reputation and relevance in our national polity forever….

Tinubu’s stubborn, irresponsible and insensitive government should not be treated with kids gloves…. Even if this strike ends today…. It is only a matter of time, Nigerians will take action and a massive protest/revolution will consume this country….. this economic crisis is now unbearable for many Nigerians….

No. In my opinion, I believe the strike has been largely successful. The government has realized the matter is serious.

you can't entirely blame them if you put yourself in their position. Already, people have politicized it that they are working for Obi. That aside, grounding of the Economy especially power is not what we need now but I am happy NLC/TUC have showed to government that the can effectively ground the economy going by what I personally witnessed yesterday. Let's watch what comes next before next step.

Labour shutting down the national grid was actually a mistake. They didn't think it through at all

Government could have prosecuted them for that, that's why they just want to forget about strike because it was senseless.
Re: NATIONAL STRIKE: NLC, TUC Betray Nigeria Workers Again? by Kanixt(m): 6:22am On Jun 04, 2024
Possibly to add another 3k totalling 63k which is over 60k, as is in there in the agreement.

Mistakenly NLc call off this strike and 3k waß added instead, Ajero will be the must hated NLc chairman in history but, if he stand firm he will be the most celebrated NLc chairman in history.

You are the one that is very senseless and jobless. The one day action was largely a success. The airports and national grid was completely shutdown for 24 hours +.

Yeah as you can see that stopped FG and the politicians from eating since yesterday.

Who suffered the quick shut down more? The government or the masses?

fuel subsidy removal
floating of the Naira ( dollar went from N700 something to N1500)
increased electricity tariff from N65/unit to about N265
cost of living has tripped in just one year
Foodstuff prices have soared in just one year

Common sense is far from you..

Anyone who sabotage the interest of the Nigerian workers will not know peace.
Subsidy was removed, prices of goods doubled.
Naira wa floated, prices of goods tripled
While minimum wage remain the same for a whole year. Something that wasn't even enough during Buhari's tenure and this administration is dragging foot to give workers a living wage. Mumu Don too much
wat do u mean by price of goods doubled?

So paint rubber garri dat was sold around a #1000 b4 but now sold close to #5000, is dat d meaning of price doubled?

huh
Re: NATIONAL STRIKE: NLC, TUC Betray Nigeria Workers Again? by Bebigiby1(op):
Are you not tired of tribalism…. What is nzobu nzobu? For your information the country is already burning…. You are using between N20,000 and N50,000 to buy fuel to fill your car tank…. One big basket of tomatoes is over N100,000 calling off the strike prematurely will only hurt Nigerian workers and worsen the situation….

Why didn't they agree on an amount?
That's the question.

Above 60k can mean 61k
Re: NATIONAL STRIKE: NLC, TUC Betray Nigeria Workers Again? by heykims(m): 7:38am On Jun 04, 2024
Betray what?
Were u expecting the govt to pay 500k minimum wage?
Realistically, I knew the max they can get is 70 to 80k.

Or 100k.
It cannot exceed 100k. No matter the longevity of the strike.
Re: NATIONAL STRIKE: NLC, TUC Betray Nigeria Workers Again? by tellsblinks(m): 8:06am On Jun 04, 2024
I don't actually get? Can't you people read?

NLC hasn't agreed to 60k yet?
The committee would meet daily for a week to reach a better stand.

NLC can still press on the 400k during this meeting and a favourable outcome could be considered
