FG Invites Organised Labour For Crucial Meeting As Nationwide Strike Enters Day Two

78

The Federal Government has invited Organised Labour for a meeting to address and find a lasting solution to the ongoing nationwide strike.

Organised labour consists of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).

According to Vanguard, the meeting, which was summoned by the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, would take place this afternoon at the NSA office in Abuja.

Recall that the NLC and TUC, on Tuesday, declared an indefinite nationwide strike to protest the assault on the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, and other labour leaders in Owerri, the Imo State capital, on November 1.

Other grievances of Organized Labour include outstanding salary arrears, unjust declaration of 11,000 workers as ghost employees, unsettled gratuities, non-compliance with the N30,000 minimum wage act, and declaration of 10,000 pensioners as ghost retirees.

In a move to stop the nationwide strike, the Federal Government went to court and got an order restraining the NLC and TUC from embarking on the industrial action, but the unions commenced the strike.
