Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC and the Trade Union Congress, TUC has given President Buhari an ultimatum to conclude negotiations on the consequential adjustment of workers’ salaries between grade level 7 to 14 else they will call for industrial action.

The Union also kicked against the presidential committee set up to renegotiate on the same issue.

 

This was the outcome of a meeting that was held by the leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Abuja on Wednesday.

 

The unions also demand that the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council must complete its assignment within one week otherwise they cannot guarantee harmony in the civil service.

 

In a joint statement issued after the meeting, the labour insisted on “29% and not 11% increment to workers on grades 7 to 14 and the 6.5 % for those between 15 and 17 will subsist.”

 

The union declared that if their demands are not met at the close work on Wednesday, 16th October, 2019, then the Labour will be left with no option other than an industrial.
