NEW MINIMUM WAGE: Worries as Labour mobilizes for strike; may begin a nationwide strike from Monday, June 3

The Organised Labour may begin a nationwide strike from Monday, June 3, over a new minimum wage.

Following the abrupt adjournment due to labour’s walkout of last Tuesday’s meeting, the set up committee on a new national minimum wage, NNMW has earlier accused government negotiators of unseriousness in the negotiation process.

Recall that the labour negotiating team had walked out during negotiation meetings on two different occasions after the Federal Government increased its offer marginally to N60,000 from the N57,000 it offered on Wednesday, May 22.

According to the sources, organised labour is already mobilizing for a strike from Monday, June 3. 

“The outcome of tomorrow’s (today) will determine our next line of action. If the meeting comes out fruitful, better for everyone.” a Labour leader told vanguard.
