BREAKING: AGAIN, LABOUR REJECTS N54,000 AS NEW MINIMUM WAGE
The N54,000 new minimum wage proposed by the federal government has been rejected by Organized Labor on Tuesday.
In contrast to its initial offer of N48,000, the FG had proposed N54,000 to Labour during a meeting. This was disclosed to us by one of the Organized Labour leaders present at the conference.
Recall that Organised Labour comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress, walked out on the Tripartite Committee on Minimum Wage following the proposal of N48,000 as the minimum wage by the Federal Government.
Last week, Organised Labour told FG to perish any thought of offering N100,000 as the new minimum wage.
It also asked the government to be serious with negotiations on the issue of workers’ wages, insisting that it used the lowest minimum in arriving at N615,000 as the new minimum wage.
