The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has vowed that it would continue its national struggle for a thorough review of the national minimum wage.
The NLC President, Joe Ajaero, said this at an event by pensioners in Abuja.
According to him, it is no longer acceptable to discuss the welfare of workers without also discussing the welfare of those who have completed their active years of service.
The NLC boss urged Nigerian workers and pensioners to get prepared for the ideological and economic battles that lie ahead.
“The Nigeria Union of Pensioners, NUP, is one of the proud affiliates of the Nigeria Labour Congress. Therefore, your struggle is our struggle, and your welfare remains a priority for the organised labour movement.
“We are currently in the preparatory stages for a major national struggle for a comprehensive review of the national minimum wage.
“However, let me state unequivocally that it is no longer acceptable to discuss the welfare of workers without also discussing the welfare of those who have completed their active years of service,” he said.
