Labour leaders have given the
President Muhammadu Buhari led government ultimatum to conclude negotiations on
consequential adjustment of salaries of workers between grade 7 and 14.
They also rejected the
Presidential Committee set up to further deliberate on the issue.
This was outcome of a meeting
that had in attendance leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the
Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Abuja on Wednesday.
The unions said the Joint
National Public Service Negotiating Council must complete its assignment within
one week.
A joint statement after the
meeting 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.”
“We may not guarantee industrial
peace and harmony in the country if our demands are not met at the close of
work on Wednesday, 16 October”, it added.
