The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has said its members will embark on nationwide strike alongside civil society organisations on September 26 unless the tripartite committee on new minimum wage completes its assignment.
NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, made the disclosure on Wednesday after a meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC).
Wabba lamented that the federal government had not shown any seriousness in implementing the new minimum wage.
The NLC Executive Council said in a statement:
“NEC noted that this is against the principle of collective bargaining as provided in ILO conventions 98 and 131on minimum wage setting process, which Nigeria had domesticated”, he said in a statement.
“NEC has resolved that at the expiration of the 14 days industrial action notice issued to the federal government over the new minimum wage issue, and the demand of the organised labour was not met, NEC has given NAC and the leadership of organised labour the power to declare appropriate industrial action or any action it deems necessary.
