Breaking: Tension as NLC, TUC Threaten Nationwide Strike

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) have threatened to embark on a nationwide strike over rising insecurity in the country.

NLC and TUC leadership lamented the worsening wave of terrorism, banditry, and kidnappings.

As reported by Vanguard, the warning was issued during a joint media briefing on the sidelines of the ongoing 114th International Labour Conference in Geneva, Switzerland.

The labour leaders also dismissed claims by some state governors that negotiations were ongoing with workers on a proposed ₦100,000 minimum wage.

The labour unions insisted that such assertions did not reflect the current realities of discussions on workers’ welfare.
