ORGANIZED LABOR ANNOUNCES MAY ENDING ULTIMATUM FOR MINIMUM WAGE DEMAND.

The Organized Labor comprising the Nigeria Labor Congress NLC and Trade Union Congress TUC has reiterated its May 31, 2024 ultimatum to the Federal Government to meet all of its demands which include implementation of a new national minimum wage and reversal of the hike in electricity tariff.

This followed yesterday’s emergency meeting of the National Executive Councils of the NLC and TUC in response to the pressing national issues affecting Nigerian workers.

Among the issues discussed by the labor leaders was the persisting non-compliance with the 2019 National Minimum Wage Act by some state governments.

In the resolution jointly signed by President of NLC, JOE AJAERO, and leader of TUC,FESTUS OSIFO, the labor unions also directed their members in Anambra State to mobilize for industrial action if the state government did not meet the demands of workers by May 23, 2024.
