NLC and TUC Warn of Strike After Failed Talks with FG
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have placed workers on alert for a possible nationwide strike following a deadlock in negotiations with the Federal Government regarding petrol prices, minimum wage renegotiation, tax relief, and outstanding workers’ benefits. The meeting, held at the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment in Abuja, ended without an agreement, leading to an adjournment until October 27.
The unions criticized the government delegation for arriving unprepared and without the necessary mandates to negotiate effectively. Key unresolved demands include reducing petrol prices to 2024 levels, renegotiating the national minimum wage, implementing tax relief measures, and addressing outstanding issues in the health sector.
The unions have directed their affiliates and civil society allies to remain mobilized and alert for potential action, emphasizing their commitment to dialogue but warning against indefinite delays in resolving the issues.
