The Nigerian Labour Congress
(NLC) has insisted on its planned strike, as the meeting with the Federal
Government has ended in a deadlock.
The meeting was sequel to the
declaration by the union to commence an indefinite strike starting from
Wednesday midnight.
NLC President had on Wednesday,
directed all labour unions and civil society groups, to embark on an indefinite
nationwide strike, after the expiration of the 14-day ultimatum issued on
September 12.
According to the NLC, the
decision to embark on the strike action followed the refusal of the Federal
Government to reconvene the Tripartite Committee on a new National Minimum
Wage.
NLC is demanding an upward review
of the current N18,000 minimum wage to N56,000.
