Minimum Wage Negotiations Deadlocked Again

 

Organised Labour may embark on strike next week after talks with the Federal Government over new minimum wage ended in a deadlock.

 

It was gathered that Labour representatives walked out of the meeting again.

 

Sources attending the meeting said the government failed to propose an amount higher than the N60,000 it earlier offered when the parties met on Tuesday this week.

 

With the latest development, there are strong indications that the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress may begin to mobilise for a strike as they have scheduled a press conference by 4pm at the national headquarters.

 

Details later.
