NLC has lost its power to fight for the workers

Guestmale:
Why will it not lost its power when a body that supposed be apolitical is romancing and fraternizing with a political party to the point of struggling to take over the structure of the party. The NLC leadership has abandoned their core duty of fighting for and protecting the interest of Nigerian workers.

Many states are yet to commence payment of minimum wage of 70k yet NLC leadership is not doing anything about it .

Many pensioners are languishing in penuries what has NLC done.
