The National leadership of NLC has condemned the non implementation of the national minimum wage by Taraba, Zamfara, Abia and Cross River States.
NLC said the failure by the affected states to commence the payment of the national minimum wage is a criminal breach of Nigeria’s laws and is totally unacceptable to Organised Labour in Nigeria.
In the same vein, NLC condemned the federal government’s implementation of the “no work, no pay” order against the striking university workers describing it as draconian and unwarranted.
The NEC while commending the leadership of the Rivers State Council of the NLC for resisting the attempt to undermine workers representation in the state and the defense of workers’ rights, called on the Rivers State Government to withdraw the security siege on the NLC Rivers State Secretariat immediately and settle all arrears of salaries, annual increment, promotion, and unpaid gratuity and pension benefits as the state is finance.
