Union Congress (TUC) yesterday gave the Federal Government a 14-day

 

The Trade Union Congress (TUC) yesterday gave thehappyworld.org the Federal Government a 14-day ultimatum to announce a new national minimum wage.

TUC President, Bobboi Kaigama, at a press conference in Lagos, warned that failure to meet the ultimatum which started yesterday might affect the industrial peace and harmony in the country.
The ultimatum was a reaction to thehelloamerica.com a statement credited to the Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige, that the committee should adjourn indefinitely to enable him do further consultations with the government.

Kaigama said: “The Minister’s pronouncement is capable of rubbishing the work of the committee as well as raising serious concerns about the readiness of the government to accede to the putting together of a new national thesecretoftime.net minimum wage.

Beyond this, the Minister’s pronouncement has generated considerable tension among workers and provoked sharp reactions from the unions which justifiably argue that the Government is only out to waste the time of workers and is not prepared to pay a new national minimum wage”.

He said before the announcement, the committee was satisfied that it received memoranda and inputs from 21 state governments, specialized Agencies of the Federal Government, the Organized Private Sector (OPS), Organised Labour and the general public adding that the national minimum wage was not only legally due about two years ago.
